Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

Christians are admonished in Romans 13:1 to submit to the governing authorities because God instituted all authorities that exist. How then, do you think Yun could justify his behavior against the government? Cite three examples from the book which explain times when Yun directly defied his government. Is it right to break man's law (the laws of a government)?

Essay Topic 2

In Chapter Two, Yun wrote that God intervened in his life by healing his father. This is the first of many miraculous healings we read about in this book.

Part 1) Recount from the book at least three different times that Yun attributed a miraculous healing to God. Name the person healed and the circumstances.

Part 2) Did Yun view the healing as a means to an end? What would that end be?

Part 3) Did Yun downplay healings or exalt them? Why?

Essay Topic 3

In one of his later imprisonments, Yun was ordered (along with the other prisoners) by prison officials to worship Buddha. Why would Buddhism be sanctioned by the Chinese government, and Christianity forbidden? Are there things about Christianity that are threatening to any government? Explain your view.
