• W2060416069 abstract "Reviewed by: China and Christianity: Burdened Past, Hopeful Future Franklin J. Woo (bio) Stephen Uhalley, Jr., and Xiaoxin Wu, editors. China and Christianity: Burdened Past, Hopeful Future. Armonk and London: M. E. Sharpe, 2001. xiii, 499 pp. Hardcover $79.95, ISBN 0-7656-0661-5. Paperback $34.95, ISBN 0-7656-0662-3. Organized by the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History and the Center for the Pacific Rim, University of San Francisco, Burdened Past, Hopeful Future was the theme of a conference on China and Christianity that took [End Page 548] place on the beautiful Jesuit Lone Mountain campus in the city of St. Francis on October 14-16, 1999.1 The conference brought together more than 150 participants from about fifteen different countries and regions of the world, mostly from North America. Others came from Australia and the nations of Western and Central Europe including Belgium, Hungary, and Russia. Six scholars came from the People's Republic of China. Through the presentation of twenty-two scholarly papers, of which nineteen are included in this volume, this timely international gathering engaged in reflections for the new millennium. Four papers at the conference that were omitted from the volume are mentioned at the end in the excellent conference summary by Philip L. Wickeri, and, following the educational interests of the Ricci Institute and its founder, the late Father Edward J. Malatesta, to whose memory the conference was dedicated, a paper by Jean-Paul Wiest on new opportunities and approaches for Roman Catholic-sponsored education in China was added. On the Protestant side, increasing cooperation between Chinese scholars and those outside China and greater accessibility to the archives of the former Christian colleges and universities for research purposes are noted by Zhang Kaiyuan, the director of the Center for Chinese Christian Colleges Historical Studies in Wuhan. The ecumenical spirit of this conference, sponsored by a Roman Catholic institution, is well attested to by the fact that almost a third of the papers dealt either directly or indirectly with Protestant Christianity in China. One contribution is on Hungarian Catholic and Protestant missionaries in China. But, as its author Peter Vamos candidly admits, the presence of those few dozen missionaries in China was more important for Hungarians than for the Chinese, because Hungarians are in search of the possible historical kinship between the Chinese and Hungarian people through the European Huns and the Asian Xiong-nus. An interesting historical twist is found in Dinara V. Doubrovskaia's account of the Russian Orthodox tradition in China, which first entered that country in the thirteenth century when Russians were brought in as captives of the Mongols. These original Christian captives cannot be regarded as being the vanguard of Western imperialism or gunboat diplomacy as were the Europeans who came a half millennium later. The scope of the discussion in this book on the Burdened Past, Hopeful Future is indeed broad and comprehensive, with contributions from historians, sinologists, philosophers, theologians, sociologists, anthropologists, and mis-siologists, and essays in comparative Chinese and Western cultures by specialists in religion, education, politics, the arts, medicine, and architecture. Although the conference planners made no claims to cover completely the entire range of the exceedingly rich historical experience of Christianity in China, what they attempted is commendable. [End Page 549] It is a daunting task to make a coherent whole out of this rich brew of disparate papers covering the more than thirteen hundred years of the history of Christianity in China and its varied aspects. It is a task that demands, on the one hand, a broad perspective on the (almost imperceptibly) changing culture of China and, on the other, a clear understanding of religious expression among the different strata of Chinese society, as seen in the varied traditions of Christianity that have evolved. Since nothing short of a multidisciplinary approach is called for in an assessment of this book, this review will only attempt to look at the various contributions selectively according to three basic themes: Western power and the West's attitude of superiority, the interaction of intellectuals and the Chinese masses, and the dynamics of cultural transmission. In the Introduction, editor Stephen Uhalley competently situates these..." @default.
