《教務雜誌》(Chinese Recorder, 1867-1941)是中國近代歷史上最重要的一份英文教會雜誌。其發行期間橫跨晚清民國，長達七十二年，提供了非常豐富的史料。其內容不僅是傳教士的論壇與意見交流的平台，更廣泛的報導了中國的社會、文化、宗教與政治。過去此刊物廣為西方學者所借重，經常在研究近代中國時被引用及參考。惟過去很少有研究，能夠深入檢討傳教士的報導，以及傳教士的價值觀。傳教士在報導與論述中國時，雖然有其客觀與超然，但是也難免有誤解與宗教立場的地方，故值得加以探討，一方面用來幫助檢視當時之中國，另一方面亦可以檢討與評估其記載與觀點。清末最後十年是最混亂與改革最速的時代，變動中的中國是傳教士面臨的挑戰，也是他們這個時期在這雜誌中的主要話題。則《教務雜誌》的作者是如何看待這個變動的時代，如何了解、解讀與掌握社會的脈動，如何提出符合時代的需要，又如何傳遞基督教的訊息？此項研究計畫即是以當時代的三個主題為斷限（即是社會變動、革命理念與行動、在宣教上的因應），來探討《教務雜誌》在這重大變化的十年是如何記述與回應時代。希望透過與時代互動的角度，來呈現這份宗教刊物，同時並檢討傳教士對中國認知與因應的宣教策略。 The Chinese Recorder is the most important English-language church magazine in modern China. Its period covers 72 years, from late Qing to the mid-Republican. It provides very rich sources about modern China. In addition to the extensive reports and discussions on Chinese society, culture and politics, this magazine also serves as a platform for missionaries to share their ideas and opinions. This magazine has been a major source for Western scholars to conduct research on China. However, very few scholars have examined the contents of the magazine as well as studied the perspectives of missionary reports of China. Coming from an outsider’s perspective, these missionaries should be more objective when it comes to observing China. However they were sometimes influenced by their own standpoints and values. Therefore a thorough examination of the contents of the magazine will not only help us understand China better, but also put us in a better position to evaluate missionary reports and their viewpoints. The last decade of the Qing Dynasty is both the most turbulent and the fastest growing reform period. Changing China becomes a challenge to these Christian missionaries and a major topic of the Chinese Recorder. It has become an intriguing question for them to perceive the changing times, to interpret the changes, to find the needs of China, and to pass the Gospel to the Chinese. This project will focus on three major topics of the magazine – social upheavals, the messages and activities of the revolutionists, and Christian messages appropriate to the Chinese. It is hoped that the result of this project will present a clear picture of the last decade of the Qing Dynasty and of missionary understanding of China through their messages and attitudes to the era. 研究期間：10008 ~ 10107
