An English-Language Bibliography of Materials Related to Christianity in Thailand

Introduction

The purpose of this bibliography is to provide an extensive list of English-language research materials useful for the study of Christianity in Thailand.

The standard for inclusion in the bibliography is that each entry is about and contributes something useful to the study of Christianity in Thailand. While the inevitable exceptions have undoubtedly crept in, as a rule items that are about Christianity in Thailand but, in my judgment, not useful to its study are excluded. Sources that may be very useful to the study of Christianity in Thailand but are not about it directly have also been excluded. By the same token, some well-known works by Thai Christians and missionaries who served here are not contained in the bibliography because they are not about Thai Christianity as such. Individual articles found in the publications listed in the section "Newspapers, Magazines, and Journals" are generally excluded in order to preserve space. In some cases, however, important individual articles are included, especially ones from major journals.

While the intention of the bibliography is to be as ecumenical and inclusive as possible, its content clearly reflects my own research interests and expertise. First, it is overwhelmingly weighted towards Protestantism and, in fact, began as an exclusively Protestant bibliography. While some Catholic sources are now included, they remain relatively few in number and are by no means representative of what could and should be included. Second, within the Protestant domain, the bibliography is strongest for the old nineteenth-century missions, for Presbyterian missions down to the present, and for the Church of Christ in Thailand generally. Finally, it should be emphasized again that the bibliography contains what I personally and professionally think is "useful" to the study of Christianity in Thailand .

This is not an annotated bibliography, but in a some cases it does provide a brief note on the subject of an item [in brackets] if the subject of the entry is not clear from its bibliographic information. The bibliography uses a Chicago Manual of Style (13th edition) format, and in keeping with an accepted convention Thai authors are alphabetized by first name.

Each entry in the bibliography, except in the section on Periodicals ends with an abbreviation in brackets, which indicates where I located the entry. Those locations are as follows:

FC [From Citation] indicates that the entry comes from a citation in a bibliography or a source note. I have not seen the item personally. FC entries are not always consistent with this bibliography's format, depending on the information provided in the citation itself.

OL [On Line] indicates sources that were found on the Internet. The OL citations include an "as of" date indicating when the link was last checked. My own articles in HeRB are not included in this bibliography; those by other authors are included, if they are about Protestantism in Thailand.

PS [Personal Sources] indicates sources that I have seen, but are in private hands. They are not available in the public domain, so far as I know, and are included, again, in the interest of completeness.

The bibliography also includes a number of citations taken from the on line catalogs of several libraries as well as from the American Theological Library Association's on line periodical index (accessed through Hutchins Library, Berea College). I have not seen these items personally and the entries are based on the information given in the catalogs. These on line resources are:

Abbreviations for dissertation and thesis degrees:

I trust you will find this bibliography useful. If you discover any errors or inconsistencies in it or have recommended additions to the entries, please let me know. Enjoy!
