Christianity in the East and the West

Enoch Wan. Article Two Christianity in the Eye of Traditional Chinese.

Christianity should not be transplanted to China in a Western pot; it should be transplanted and rooted in Chinese soil. Second in a series, this article examines Christianity in China and the Western influence. Five aspects of westernized Christianity among the Chinese prior to 1949 are identified. The change in the ways and means that Christianity is to be preached in a culturally sensitive and contemporarily relevant manner to the Chinese is imperative.
