The Church in Asia

The Church in Asia

Discover Christianity in China from its entry in the 7th century to the present. From the very beginning, Christian evangelization has been a process of inculturation and of negotiation with other religious traditions, especially Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism. The on-going interweaving of Christian theology and Chinese cultural elements offers a special example of the diversity of the Church today. Explore the history of Christianity in China and Chinese religions, especially Buddhism, in an open and accessible manner.
