Wang Wei-Fan's Evangelical Theology Wang Wei-fan’s Evangelical Theology 3 Chapter 1 Wang Wei-fan’s Evangelical Theology Its Significance for the Church in China Today Kevin Xiyi Yao Within the contemporary Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), Wang Wei-fan (汪维藩, 1927–2015) stands out as a theological spokesman for evange- licalism. Wang was born in 1927, and converted to evangelical Christianity in his early twenties. In 1951 he started his theological education and eventually graduated from Nanjing Union Theological Seminary (NUTS) four years later. As an evangelical, he decided to join emerging Three-Self Patriotic Movement, and soon founded himself condemned as a ‘rightist” and doing hard labor on farms and factories for decades. When the Great Cultural Revolution (1966– 1976) finally came to an end, he was rehabilitated and appointed to a teaching post at NUTS in 1980. In that position, he quickly arose as a popular teacher, prolific writer, and key theological thinker within the TSPM. Since his retire- ment in 1999, he has remained active as a writer. In most significant academic studies, Wang has been recognized as one of very few influential evangelical writers, theologians, theological educators, and church leaders.1 Inheriting the fundamentalist / evangelical tradition of the Chinese Church of the early 20th Century, Wang re-interprets and develops the tradition in the context of 21st Century Chinese church and society. In many ways, his theology is not only a good sample of contemporary evangeli- cal theological thinking but also a helpful indicator for the future direction of Chinese theology. 1 See Yuan Yi-juan 袁益娟, Shenshen shenxue – wang wei-fan shenxue sixiang yanjiu 生生 神学-汪维藩神学思想研究 [Theology of Ceaseless Creativity – A Study of Wang Weifan’s Thoughts] (Beijing: Golden Wall Press 金城出版社, 2010); Philip L.

Such agencies as the China Inland Mission played a major role in shaping the conservative characters of the Chinese Church. As Christianity in China came of age in the 1930s and 1940s, generations of Chinese evangelists and church leaders rose and helped bring Chinese evangelical tradition to its maturity. The result is a tradition that affirms Biblical authority, supernatural Christology, and centrality of evange- lism.2 One of the major achievements of the evangelical revival during and after the Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) is the rise of evangelical student min- istry. A large number of young people were evangelized in these years and became the backbone of Chinese churches in the decades to come.3 In many ways Wang Wei-fan was a product of this particular wave of cam- pus ministry. Although he was baptized as early as the summer of 1947, his spiritual life really deepened and matured when he studied at the Central University (中央大学) in Nanjing from 1948 to 1951. During these three years he was very active in evangelical student ministry, and attended a conservative church led by Rev. Yang Shao-tang (杨绍唐, 1898–1968), a nationally renown evangelist. Under Rev. Yang’s tutelage, Wang experienced spiritual re-birth and chose an evangelical orientation of his theology and ministry. In early 1951 Wang dropped out of college and decided on a theological edu- cation. Not surprisingly, with his evangelical orientation, he chose to go to a conservative seminary based in Hangzhou. Within a year this seminary merged with a dozen other theological schools into Nanjing Union Theological Seminary (金陵协和神学院, NUTS) largely due the new social and political 2 For the studies on Chinese evangelical tradition, see Xi Lian, Redeemed by Fire, The Rise of Popular Christianity in Modern China (New Haven, Yale University Press, 2010); Kevin Xiyi Yao, The Fundamentalist Movement among Protestant Missionaries in China, 1920–1937 (Lanham, Maryland: University Press of America, 2003); Leung Ka-lun, Huaren chuandao yu fenxing budaojia 华人传道与奋兴布道家 [Evangelists and Revivalists of Modern China] (Hong Kong: Alliance Bible Seminary, 1999). 3 For the studies on the evangelical student movement in China of the 1940s and 1950s, see Ming-chang Kuo, Genyun qinchun – xiaoyuan tuanqi wushinianlai de guiji 耕耘青春 – – 校 园团契五十年来的轨迹 [Cultivating the Young: The Contours of Campus Evangelical Fellowship’s Work over the Past Fifty Years](Taipei, Taiwan: Campus Evangelical Fellowship, 2007), Chapter One; Leung Ka-lung, Tamen shi weile xinyang – beijing jidutu xueshenhui yu zhonghua jidutu budaohui 他们是为了信仰 – – 北京基督徒学生会与中华基督徒布 道会 [By Faith They Did It: Beijing Christian Student Association and Chinese Christian Evangelistic Band] (Hong Kong: Alliance Bible Seminary 2001)..

  • Wang Weifan's Cosmic Christ
    © Chow, A. ( 2016). ‘Wang Weifan’s Cosmic Christ’. Modern Theology. 10.1111/moth.12260 Wang Weifan’s Cosmic Christ Alexander Chow ([email protected]), School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh In mainland China, Bishop Ding Guangxun (K. H. Ting) is regarded as the main proponent of a cosmic Christology, which is often characterised as a politicised theology. However, since the 1980s, another leading Chinese Protestant thinker, the evangelical Wang Weifan, would also articulate a cosmic Christology – not to reconcile the Christian with the communist, as with Ding, but to reconcile Christianity with Chinese religion and philosophy. This paper will show that Wang Weifan’s Christology is based on a broader ecumenical conversation but is ultimately part of a Chinese evangelical’s attempt to construct a Chinese Christian theology. Introduction One of the earliest theological formulations of a ‘cosmic Christ’ can be traced back to the second- century Irenaeus of Lyon who spoke of Christ’s work of atonement in terms of ‘recapitulating’ or ‘summing up’ all of humanity in himself. This understanding of the cosmic redemption of Christ has been the dominant Christological view in Eastern or Greek Christianity up until the present day. In contrast, this theme has been lost for several centuries in Western or Latin Christianity, in part due to the Western trajectory of modernity and the resultant shifts in cosmological understandings,1 but has been rediscovered in the twentieth century. From Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s work with evolutionary science to Jürgen Moltmann’s interests in eschatological and ecological matters, Western theologians attempting to answer questions about the created order have led to a growing restoration of cosmic Christologies in new and innovative ways.

  • An Ethically Oriented Dao Christology
    CHAPTER 7 Toward a Chinese Christology: An Ethically Oriented Dao Christology Chao welcomed the founding of the New China with great enthusiasm.1 However, since the early 1950s, his contextually theological thinking had to be unfinished by successive political movements. In an article written in 1950, Chao expressed his anxiety for the future of the Chinese church. He added these lines as an appendix to the article: I feel tired in mind and exhausted in strength, and there is too much anxiety in my heart and my mind. From now on, I am going to follow the Lord wholeheartedly, and to obey the commandments of God so that I can eventually finish the rest of my life in world.2 If his theological thinking had not been undone by the political atmosphere of the time, Chao would have been able to further develop his Christology. Following the analysis of both Chao’s early and later Christology in the previous chapters, this chapter will form the constructive part of the present study. In this chapter, I will try to give some creative ideas and basic principles for constructing a Chinese Dao Christology. Dao, which refers to both cosmic principle and the way of human life, is a central concept in Chinese culture. By the term “Dao Christology,” I concentrate on the ethical dimension of Dao and attempt to establish a practical ethical dimension of Christology which may be relevant to the Chinese context, while also paying attention to the ecumeni- cal understanding of Jesus Christ. Prior to beginning this constructive part, I would like to sketch Chinese Christology beyond T.

    Modern Theology 25:1 January 2009 ISSN 0266-7177 (Print) ISSN 1468-0025 (Online) K. H. TING’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE CONTEXTUALIZATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA MIIKKA RUOKANEN Communist ideology has for half a century done its best to eradicate the influence of traditional Chinese beliefs and morality in China. Now Commu- nism itself has lost its credibility as an ideological system and has become purely a pragmatic tool for ruling the vast multicultural country. Hundreds of millions of Chinese are looking for a new orientation as they seek to under- stand the value and meaning of their lives and to build up their moral worldview. All the religions of China at the present time are growing, to some extent filling the vacuum of faith and values. Protestant Christianity is the fastest growing religion of them all. According to Chinese scholars of religion, some two million adults receive baptism each year, one million in the registered churches under the guidance of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement and the China Christian Council, another million among the non-registered groups. China is possibly witnessing the fastest church growth in history.1 Bishop K. H. Ting (Ding Guangxun, b. 1915) has been since the 1950s the leading figure of both the Chinese Protestant church and of Chinese theo- logical thinking. His role as the most outstanding representative of Chinese Protestant Christianity from the early 1950s to the present is incomparable in the history of nearly any church of our times. He has held all the top posts of the Chinese Protestant church and has an important role in the Chinese national political establishment.2 Miikka Ruokanen Faculty of Theology, Box 33, 00014 University of Helsinki FINLAND miikka.ruokanen@helsinki.fi; He is also Guest Professor in the Renmin (People’s) University of China (Beijing), Advisory Professor in the Fudan University (Shanghai), and Visiting Professor in the Nanjing Union Theological Seminary (Nanjing).

  • ABSTRACT Multiple Modernizations, Religious Regulations and Church
    ABSTRACT Multiple Modernizations, Religious Regulations and Church Responses: The Rise and Fall of Three “Jerusalems” in Communist China Zhifeng Zhong, Ph.D. Mentor: William A. Mitchell, Ph.D. There is an extensive literature on modernization, regulation and religious change from a global perspective. However, China is usually understudied by the scholars. Numerous studies tackle the puzzle of the rising of Christianity and its implications in China. However they fail to synthesize the multiple dynamics and diverse regional difference. This dissertation approaches the development of Christianity in contemporary China from a regional perspective. By doing a case study on twelve churches in three prefecture cities (Guangzhou, Wenzhou and Nanyang), I examine how different historical processes and factors interacted to shape the uneven development of Christianity under the communist rule. The main research questions are: How did Protestantism survive, transform and flourish under a resilient communism regime? What factors account for the regional variance of the transformation of Christianity? I argue that there are multiple modernizations in China, and they created various cultural frames in the regions. Although the party-state tried to eliminate religion, Protestantism not only survived, but transformed and revived in the Cultural Revolution, which laid the foundation for momentum growth in the reform era. The development of Protestantism in China is dynamic, path-dependent, and contingent on specific settings. Different modernizations, religious regulation, historical legacy and church responses led to the rise and fall of three “Jerusalems” in communist China.

In this research, thesis topics selected by graduate students majoring in theology are classified into four categories: universal theoretical research, universal practical research, theoretical research of Chinese Christianity, and practical research of Chinese Christianity. Results of coded categorical data analysis and case study show that graduate students mainly focus on universal theories without giving adequate attention to the topic of the “Sinification” of Christianity. In their universal theoretical research, graduate students examine classic Christian works and theological thoughts of important figures in a detailed and in-depth way. Universal practical studies are skewed to practices of religious reforms and teaching improvements from a multidisciplinary perspective. In the theoretical research of Sinified Christianity, researchers build upon the commensurability between traditional Chinese culture and Christian Citation: Li, Fulin, and Qing Wu. theology, including the theological thoughts of important Christian figures in China, to explore the 2021.
