Christianity and Chinese Nationalism 基督教与中国民族主义

作者谢选骏在本书中收集了六十篇各种观点的文章，并加以评注，意在说明一个思想焦点：基督教在华传播的最大障碍，是遇到了“民族主义的抵抗”，而如何处理这一障碍，攸关基督教在中国乃至在世界的命运。这一点也可以从佛教和共产主义的在华传播，得到比较证明。佛教和共产主义在中国也曾面对过民族主义的质疑和抗拒，但是，佛教和共产主义现今却在对抗基督教在华传播的过程中，扮演了民族主义的卫兵角色。其实这个问题不是中国特有的，作者发现，基督教比较成功的那些社会，都是比较好地处理了基督教与自身的民族主义之间关系的社会。因为对所有民族来说，基督教都可以说是外来的：在世界三大宗教里，基督教特别遭到犹太人的敌视，还不像佛教受到印度人的宽容、伊斯兰教得到阿拉伯人的服从。 Synopsis: Christianity is, in some way, a religion foreign to all nations. Among the three major religions of the world, Christianity has been looked at with hostility by the Jews, unlike Buddhism that has been treated with tolerance by the Indians, and unlike Islam, too, that has been followed by the Arab nations. By anthologizing and commenting on the 60 articles with various points of views, the author Xie Xuanjun aims at illustrating the point that nationalism is the biggest obstacle to the spread of Christianity in China, and the removal of nationalism is key to the destiny of Christianity in China and in the whole world.
