An Overview Regarding Christian Communities in Cochinchina (From the 16th to the 18th Century)
Abstract
This article aims to introduce an overview of the development of Christian Congregations and their contribution to local culture and rituals in Cochinchina. Historical methods and source materials exploitation have been employed to prove that Christianity overcame the arduous ordeal of a messy historical background of local history and the deep-rooted culture of local belief to position itself in Cochinchina. The establishment of new communities of Christians contributed to gathering refugees to reclaim the southern territory and helped accelerate Vietnamese-Western acculturation by spreading positive values of the new culture among Christian communities.
