Product Description

Christian missionaries in China have long been viewed as agents of Western imperialist values. Yang Huilin, a leading scholar of Sino-Christian studies, has dedicated himself to re-evaluating the history of Christianity in China and sifting through intellectual and religious results of missionary efforts there. In a distinctly Chinese voice, Yang presents the legacy of Western missionaries in a new light, contributing greatly to a now vigorous Sino-Christian theology.

Editorial Reviews

Yang’s essays cover a remarkable range of thinking and one can only hope that, at a time when much of the scramble to establish links between Chinese and Western universities is unseemly, hasty and unattractive, this serious and intellectual voice is clearly heard and engaged with in both universities and beyond.

-- Literature and Theology

An excellent collection of essays whose ideas should be the starting point for conversations in many disciplines.

-- Fides Et Historia

The volume serves as a fascinating snapshot of the vibrant academic discourse on Christianity in China today and provides provocative insights for researchers in missions and world Christianity.

-- International Bulletin of Mission Research

This is a significant book for Chinese academia that boldly interprets the Christian phenomena in a new way. It reverses the traditional bias against Christianity, and may in fact inaugurate a more open discussion about religion in general among Chinese in the future. Such profound insights touch upon the very nature of the Christian faith, and bear significance for all Christians, as well as nonbelievers, to rethink their relationship with Christianity. Altogether the book provides a valuable window for understanding Chinese Christianity.

-- Journal of Asia Adventist Seminary

China, Christianity, and the Question of Culture is a brilliant book by a leading scholar, and deserves wide readership.

-- Church History and Religious Culture

A vigorous and sophisticated cross-cultural discourse against the background of history, philosophy, religion, theology and hermeneutics

-- International Journal for the Study of the Christian Church

An excellent guide to study the nature and aims of Sino-Christian theological studies

-- Exchange

…this essay collection offers a useful introduction to the intellectual contours of China’s cultural Christians in the post-Tiananmen era, and should appeal to scholars interested in Chinese theology and interreligious religious dialogue

-- Journal of Chinese Religions

In his book China, Christianity, and the Question of Culture, with a fine scholarship in listing Chinese learning and the main Western contemporary theological positions, the prominent mainland Chinese scholar Yang Huilin shows appreciation for the approach of enculturation of Christianity into the secular context which is dominant in China today.

-- Africanus Journal

Yang’s work offers a refreshing and insightful commentary on Christianity in China, with its changing and growing intellectual engagement.

-- Scottish Journal of Theology
