This article presents my personal initiation into religious theory and practice in a microhistorical perspective in the history of religious thought in Taiwan, in particular, with Professor Joseph Vu's inferences about religious education in Fu Jen Catholic University. I first explore how I have been initiated by Professor Joseph Vu and discuss the relationship between religious studies and theology, Mircea Eliade's religious theory and humanities in Taiwan, interreligious dialogue, and liberating education. I then demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of religious studies in liberating higher education in Taiwan. For this I draw on studies of the Presbyterian Church seminary (Taiwan Theological College), Aletheia University, and Fu Jen Catholic University.
