| Research Abstract |
I have collected and analyzed the historical materials on the missionary activities and the translation of the Bible in Mongolia at churches in Ulaanbaatar, London University Library, Cambridge University Library, National Library of Sweden, and so on. By the analysis of missionary materials, I pointed out the difference of the contact mode of Mongolians and European missionaries based on the difference of historical conditions between before and after the Socialism. Furthermore I illuminated the fact that there is deep relationship between this contact mode and the controversies over the translation of the Bible and the theories on missionary activities.
