This book reflects on three broad themes of Confucian-Christian
relations to assist in the appreciation of the church's theology of
mission. While the themes of this volume are theological in
orientation, the dialogue is engaged in from an interdisciplinary
approach that prioritises the act of listening. Part I surveys the
historical background necessary for an adequate understanding of
the contemporary Confucian-Christian dialogues. It examines the
history of Confucian-Christian relations, explores the Chinese
Rites Controversy, and delineates the contemporary task of
indigenizing Christianity by Sino-Christian theologians. Part II
compares elements in the Confucian and Christian traditions that
exemplify the epitome and fullness of spiritual development. It
discusses the Confucian practice of rites (li), interrogates how
the noble or exemplary person (junzi) competes, and outlines the
Confucian understanding of sageliness (shengren). Lastly, Part III
examines different aspects of the church's engagements with the
world outside of itself. It advocates for a Confucian-Christian
hermeneutic of moral goodness, attends to the Confucian emphasis on
moral self-cultivation, proposes that Confucian virtue ethics can
shed light on Christian moral living, and offers a
Confucian-Christian understanding of care for mother earth. This
book is ideally suited to lecturers and students of both Christian
studies and Confucian studies, as well as those engaged in mission
studies and interfaith studies. It will also be a valuable resource
for anyone interested in comparative religious and theological
studies on Christianity and Confucianism.
