Korean Area Studies Practice Test

Which Protestant missionary is linked to distributing Bibles in early Korea and is considered a martyr?

Moffett Horace N. Allen Henry Samuel

Correct Answer:

Moffett

Explanation:

Distributing Scripture and building a local church under harsh restrictions defines the early Protestant mission in Korea. Robert Jermain Thomas stands out as the missionary linked to bringing Bibles into Korea and is remembered as a martyr for his death during the Joseon crackdown on Christians. He worked to place Protestant Scripture in Korean hands, and his sacrifice helped seed the growth of the Korean Protestant church that followed. The other missionaries contributed in different ways—education, medicine, or later scholarship—rather than being primarily associated with Bible distribution and martyrdom.
