The Wind of the Spirit Is Blowing East
The Church of the East embarked on the earliest mission to China, sending monks to a vibrant land steeped in ancestral worship and a diverse pantheon of deities. This paper will delve into their extant Chinese documents, particularly the xuting mishisuo jing (Book of Righteous Mediator), to explore how the Gospel was contextualized in a culture centered on filial piety and imbued with spiritual beliefs. The argument posits that, as God-fearers ( …
From “Bridge” to “Starlink”
The world has been astonished by China’s rapid advancement in areas such as quantum science, nanocatalysis, and space exploration, to name a few. However, such an advancement faces external criticism of intellectual property theft and internal pessimism for lack of scientific innovation and creativity.

As refugees of the Persian persecution and Arab oppression, the missionaries of the Church of the East brought the Christian gospel to China as early as the seventh century CE . This article aims to investigate how these strangers in China conveyed the biblical account of Pentecost (Acts 2) to the pluralistic Tang society as the “Luminous” gospel.

Alister E. McGrath and China

To the Chinese intellectual mind, the most fascinating among McGrath's works are his writings on theology and science. This is not surprising due to China's ambitions to achieve scientific and technological dominance by boosting creativity. However, such a daunting task faces insurmounta…
Holistic Wisdom from Abrahamic Faiths' Earliest Encounters with Ancient China
Philosophies in the East and West have favored wisdom in their search for truths. The Chinese civilization has sought holistic wisdom in its long history of absorbing the Abrahamic faiths since the seventh century. This paper aims to investigate how the Abrahamic faiths have interacted with ancient Chinese culture. In particular, this paper will examine the earliest written records in Chinese of the Luminous Religion (or Jingjiao), the earliest J…
Pneumasis/pneumafication Based on Romans 8
In view of the two key themes found in Romans: pneumatology and deification, some pressing questions can be asked. One of these is, what is the role of the Holy Spirit in deification? This essay identifies one area of the work of the Holy Spirit presented in Romans that is often neglected in New Testament (NT) pneumatology, soteriology, and anthropology. This paper argues that, in Romans 8:1-17, the crucial role of the Spirit, as an active person…
