Enoch Wan. Historically speaking, China has contributed culturally to the global community by the introduction of the compass, gun powder, tea (from Swato “der”), porcelain (or “china”), silk, etc. Similarly, Sino-theology can also contribute theologically to the global community. The purpose of this article is to show that Chinese Christians by their efforts in formulating a Sino-theology (hereafter abbreviated as ST) can contribute theologically to the “global Christian community” (i.e. Christians worldwide).
As the focus of this article, “theological contribution” is defined as “giving in-put towards a positive result in the area of theology, including theoretical formulation and practical application.” For the sake of brevity, only three areas are being covered: Part 1 – methodological (ways of studying or formulating), perspectival (ways of seeing or viewpoint), and Part 2 – practical (pertaining to actual application or action or usefulness).
