Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

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.

Essay Topic 2

One of the basics rights in America is the freedom to worship in any religion we choose. Discuss how it struck you when you first read about the atrocities committed against Christians by the Chinese government. Did it seem fair? Do you think fear was an effective motivator against the spread of Christianity? Why did it work on some people and not on others? Cite examples from the book to support your position.

Essay Topic 3

Yun met varying degrees of commitment from Christians as he traveled to different parts of China. Some were willing to risk all, even their lives to help Yun, others were fearful and would not help at all. Why do you think this was so? What could make the responses vary so widely? Did Yun judge those Christians, or harbor bitterness towards them?
