Christianity was initially a "foreign religion" in China,
nevertheless it took roots over the course of several centuries
through the process of evangelisation, negotiation, conversion, and
contextualization. Therefore, it constitutes a rather complex
cultural phenomenon in China. It has been, and still is, viewed
from several perspectives and embedded into various, sometimes
mutually exclusive, master narratives of Chinese history, e.g.,
Cultural exchanges between China and the West, Imperialism in
China, Modernisation of China and Chinese religious history. Each
of these narratives entails a different evaluation of the history
of Christianity in China. As this study in German points out,
changes in this field of research are an apt indicator for shifts
in the conception of national and cultural identity/alterity in
Mainland China. They also reflect different perceptions of the
relationship between Christianity/Christian groups and Chinese
culture/non-Christian population as well as between China and the
West. Based on an analysis of discourses on the historiography of
Christianity in China, the author demonstrates the interplay of
historical research with Mainland Chinese debates on meta-topics
such as paths of modernisations and identity. The focus of this
research is on the contributions of Liang Qichao (1873-1929), Hu
Shi (1891-1962), and Chen Yuans (1880-1971) for the early 20th
century. For the late 20th and 21st century relevant articles from
the leading historical journals Jindaishi yanjiu (Modern Chinese
History Studies), Lishi yanjiu (Historical Reserarch) and
Zhongguoshi yanjiu (Studies in Chinese History) are discussed. In
the evaluation of these articles a special emphasis is put on the
influence of the historian Zhang Kaiyuan as a pioneer of a new
research perspective. Contents: 1. Heranfuhrung an die Thematik,1.1
