Sinicizing Jesus in the First Half of the Twentieth Century (Paperback)

This book, arguing that the Chinese Christian understanding of Jesus Christ is the fruit of the encounter between the Chinese and the Western cultures in all its complexity by the works of three representative and prominent Chinese theologians, explores how Chinese Christians understood the person and work of Jesus and how they actively sinicized Jesus in the first half of the twentieth century based on their cultural and sociopolitical context as well as the needs of the Chinese church. By taking Chinese Christianity as an example, this book exposes how Christianity can be translated from one culture into another and, in a broader sense, how a religion moves cross-culturally.
