| Summary: | The article addresses three issues which it judges central to the encounter between Chinese culture and Christianity now. The first is the need for Christianity to address the full truth of its past in China and to decide whether it wishes to remain a minority culture or to engage Chinese culture more comprehensively. The second is the need to understand the growing acceptance of Christianity and in particular of the biblical narrative in contemporary China. And the third is the need to explore the universal significance of elements of Chinese culture and to ask what it might contribute to Western culture in general and Christianity in particular. |
