Contextualization of Christianity in China (offered in Mandarin)

Course Description

This course is Mandarin language only.

This course focuses on the history of Christianity in China from a globalizing perspective. In the past three decades, the study of Christianity in China has shifted from “Christianity in China” to “Chinese Christianity,” bringing with it new insights for understanding the phenomena of Christianity in China. Adopting intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches, this course aims to examine the cross-cultural diffusion of Christianity in China from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China. By integrating recent Western and Eastern scholarship, this course aims to explore the process of Christianity’s contextualization in China. Further, it will reflect on current theories and practices in the study of Chinese Christianity and explore the field’s possible future contributions to discussions on the cross-cultural dimensions of global Christian history.
