Christianity And Chinese Culture

Explores the challenge and promise of Protestant Christianity in China

The Chinese Protestant Church faces a significant challenge: it must adapt itself to the unique dimensions of Chinese culture, leaving behind the trail of old missionary theology and molding an authentically Chinese approach to biblical interpretation and Christian life – one that works within both the traditional and the contemporary dimensions of Chinese society.

Rising from an extraordinary 2003 conference of Chinese Christian scholars and theologians, this collection of essays addresses ways in which the church in China is responding to this challenge. These reflections highlight both the stunning complexities confronting Christianity in China and its remarkable potential.
