Transfiguration of Chinese Christianity: Localization and Globalization

　　Since Christianity was re-introduced to China in the early nineteenth century, Chinese Christianity has undergone a holistic
“transfiguration”
which both truthfully restores ante-Nicene Christianity and successfully adapts to the cultural contexts of Chinese and other societies. The theoretical and theological diversity of this book is consistent with that of traditional Chinese religious writings as well as that of the ante-Nicene fathers but may be deemed un-theoretical, un-academic, or un-theological by those theologians who received Western theological training, as that tends to be too hegemonic, emotionless, and archaic in the eyes of lay believers.
