Transformative Choices for Wise Spiritual Renewal in the Inner Chapters of the Zhuāngzǐ and the New Testament Gospels
By highlighting two genres of literature found within the Inner Chapters of the Zhuāngzǐ and the Four Gospels of the New Testament, I compare creatively and meaningfully these two classical collections of texts from Daoist and Chrstian traditions in a manner never previously pursued. In those two genres are “instruction plura-logues” and “hard sayings”: the former involves a master/teacher interacting with at least two others (disciples, question…
A New Standard Reference Work on Bibles in China
As a relatively open academic atmosphere related to religious studies in general became manifest in the People's Republic of China in the early 1990s, new possibilities for studies of various forms of Christianity in greater China (the mainland and Chinese communities outside of the PRC) began to be realised both within China and overseas. Within the first decade of the twenty-first century, two major handbooks related to the study of Christianit…
Encountering China
Protestant Ethics among Chinese Missionaries, Problems of Indigenization, and the Spirit of Academic Professionalization
Some of Weber's descriptions and evaluations of Protestant groups and their ethos are employed to reveal dimensions of Protestant missionary activities and their contributions in early 20th-century China and Europe. The main focus is on the German missionary Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930). Wilhelm distinguished himself while living in the German colony of Jiāozhōu as an educator and missionary-scholar, specializing in translating ancient Ruist ('Con…
A Modern Chinese Philosophy Built upon Critically Received Traditions
In his recent book on "new traditionalism" (xin chuantongzhuyi 新傳統主義) Zheng Jiadong 鄭家棟 refers to Feng Youlan 馮友蘭 (1895–1990) as part of a broader movement to reinstate selective traditional concepts within the framework of a distinctively modern style of Chinese philosophizing. Much to his credit, Zheng handles the varying philosophical concerns of Feng's controversial career before and after the establishment of the People's Republic in China i…
Feng Youlan's new Principle Learning and his Histories of Chinese Philosophy
This chapter contains section titled: \nPrinciples \nNew Principle Learning \nFeng's Histories of Chinese Philosophy and New Principle Learning \nProblems of a Modern Confucian Rationalist
The Mengzian Matrix for Accommodationist Missionary Apologetics
十九世紀中葉用中文寫信仰論證的"基督家"代表人物遵循的是一種能詳細肯 定的論證策略。在這篇文章中,這種策略是指:傳教士 "以孟子為基礎"適應 中國文化的策略。這里我所描述的策略及中文資料來自"基督家"中三個代表 性人物:理雅各一有名的香港傳教士及牛津大學的漢學家;何進善一中國第一 個基督新教中華牧師及神學家;化之安一上海的廣學會中有名的著者。 首先,我以理雅各的英文資料來描述策略中三個要點:(一)以"上帝"來翻譯 《聖經》中所提到的至高無上的實有;(二)按照所謂不遵循國教的神學來肯定 孟子所强調的"人性善論";(三)用神學及哲學來肯定及補充孟子所講的人論 理論。接著,我以理、何、化三先生的中文資料來展示他們怎樣應用這種策 略。最後,我指出嚴重缺乏對現代漢學與新儒教傳教士的評價,以及加强并改 善這種評價的可能性
James Legge's metricalBook of Poetry
Few non-Asian sinological scholars would not recognize the name of James Legge(A.D. 1815-97), partly because his voluminous translations of the Confucian canon still continue to be reprinted and used by Western sinological circles 120 years after their first publication. In China itself, Legge has recently received new attention with the republication of bilingual editions ofThe Four BooksandThe Book of Changes. Japanese readers have had rather m…
