An innovative exploration of the relationship between Confucianism and Christianity, showing how fruitful interaction can invigorate Christian thought.

A scholarly analysis of Chinese Christianity explaining how it is possible to embrace the Christian faith while maintaining the Chinese identity and culture.

Being a Chinese Christian means to adopt a very distinctive and unique identity that feeds both traditions. In this book, Khiok-khng Yeo explores the Analects of Confucius and Paul's Letter to the Galatians, and shows how together they provide the resources for the construction of a Chinese Christian theology.

The author explains the common elements between St Paul and Confucius, and how both ideologies complement each other or extend the areas where the other is not so thorough. The Christ of God as found in Paul's Letter to the Galatians brings Confucian ethics to its fulfillment, while Confucius' philosophy amplifies many aspects of Christianity that are underplayed in the western churches.

Bringing the best of the Confucian tradition into the Christian story, Professor Yeo offers an approach to help revivify global Christianity.
