Protestantism in the North Vietnam: Establishment and Development Characteristics

Abstract

Protestantism has a history of introduction,
existence, and development in Vietnam for more than 100
years. In the beginning, Hanoi and Hai Phong were the first
cities chosen by Protestant missionaries for their
evangelization to the Northern region. As a result, until the
90s of the 20th century, the Protestant community in the
North did not expand. Recently, Protestantism has developed
rapidly in ethnic minority areas of the northern mountainous
provinces, the plains, and urban areas. The article shows the
history of propagating Protestantism in North Vietnam from
the beginning to the present.
