AB This paper explores and discusses the socio-political approach in the theological thinking of the Chinese Protestant pastor Samuel Lamb. Lamb does not appear interested in changing society or politics, as he considers the Christian life to be in distinct contrast with the ways of the world. Nevertheless, both his emphasis on a pious Christian life and his exhortation regarding eternal rewards encourage deliberate efforts to witness to Christ in the world, therefore leading the church to become a socio-political group in socialist China. Lamb thus in effect proposes a radical Christian response to the Communist socio-political context.
