Abstract

Death is an essential issue for human beings of all ages. Throughout Christian history, we can say that some sacrificial deaths, those that derive from love of both God and others, bear fruit. This study aims to examine how such deaths resulted in the expansion of Christian mission by surveying the legacies of four missionaries from four Presbyterian churches who died suddenly in the line of duty. Those missionaries are John W. Heron of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Lottie Witherspoon Bell of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, William J. McKenzie of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, and Joseph Henry Davies of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, Australia.I will briefly ascertain the afore-mentioned missionaries' motivations for mission to Korea, and the process that carried them from the start to the end of their mission. Then, I will focus on the interplay between their deaths and their influence in both Korean Christianity and Western Christianities as a case study in World Christianity by investigating the activities of remaining family members, colleagues, natives, and their home churches. In order to clarify why their deaths had such a deep impact, I will particularly delve into the influence of deaths as a social phenomenon through the theology of premillennialism to which Western missionaries subscribed. The time period of focus for this study is from 1865, the year the Civil War in the United States ended, to 1912, the year the Korean Church dispatched its first cross-cultural missionary to China.
