This volume sets out to examine how Christian scriptures have been
read within a Chinese reading tradition, and to assess what
questions such readings pose for both theologians and Chinese
studies specialists. The absence to date of publications on the
topic, and the scattered nature of such research and of scholars in
the field makes this an important contribution to debate. The
volume gathers essays from Biblical studies experts together with
theologians and Chinese text scholars to discuss the
interdisciplinary questions raised. Essays from mainland, Taiwanese
and diasporic Chinese scholars ensure that a range of opinions
(including those reflecting fault lines between 'academic' and
'confessional' positions) are presented.Within the four sections of
the volume, several papers discuss and correct the current lineage
of historical readings, while others study the historical impact of
the Bible in Chinese society. Four essays give contextual or
cross-cultural readings, with a focus on individual exegetes,
mainly from the early twentieth century. The power of performance
is raised in two essays, one comparative paper on Christian and
Buddhist scriptures from the Qing dynasty and one on the singing of
psalms in modern day Taiwan and Macao. Moral questions preoccupy
others, including the challenges that early Chinese converts found
in Biblical laws or Christian guidance on concubinage, and
extrincisist readings of the "Sermon on the Mount".
