Abstract
Abstract: What has Nat-worship to do with Christianity? Christianity should not escape from Nat-worship—it is not difficult to answer why. Nat-worship is a primal religion for Burmese—both the Burman majorities and the ethnic minorities had worshiped Nats before they accepted foreign religions: Buddhism from India and Christianity from Euro-America. If Nat-worship is a local religion in Myanmar, the other foreign religions, like Buddhism and Christianity especially, should embrace it and be enriched by its moral elements of religious practices and spiritual values. By using Tillich's method of correlation between religion and culture, there follows an exploration of how Nat-worship serves as a medium for God's revelation ( praeparatio evangelica) and as a theological locus (locus theologicus) for enriching a Christian theology in Myanmar.
