1. Abstract

This course is specifically designed to indicate problems of cultural accommodation

and cultural conflict that arose after Chinese culture (our own culture) had

encountered with Christianity (the leading Western religious culture), and to interpret

the contemporary significance of studying the interrelationship between the two

distinct cultures. Based on the declarative knowledge and necessary methodologies

2

acquired in the course, students are required to apply their knowledge to real-life

situations and address contemporary cultural and religious issues around the globe.

A variety of cases will be analyzed through several points of penetration, namely 1:

traditional Chinese moral ethics; 2: Chinese religions and beliefs; 3: Methods of the

propagation of Christian faith; 4: Translation of the Bible; 5: Art of painting; 6:

Religious architecture; 7: Religious philanthropies; 8: Policies and laws of the

contemporary Chinese government (The People’s Republic of China) concerning

religions; 9: Conditions of religious activities in modern China.

There are a series of points of penetration list above; however, all of them are link up

to the topic: the encounter of Christianity and Chinese culture.

Teaching and learning activities include lectures, tutorials, in-class group

collaboration, field trip and online discussion. TLAs put enhanced emphasis on the

following:

a. To highlight the essence of the problems concerned, that is, to build up a sound

base of interdisciplinary knowledge from the outset, and to develop consciousness

of exploring problems among students. Students are required to articulate the

components of the problems concerned and to demonstrate their critical thinking

in the course of analyzing controversial cultural and religious problems.

b. To give particular emphasis to the discussion of “how” and “why” every cultural

phenomenon emerges.

c. To summarize methodologies of critical thinking and apply their knowledge to

real-life situations, notably to address contemporary critical issues.

2. Course Aims

The aims of this course are fourfold. It aims to

1. Introduce the relation between Chinese culture and Christianity in historical

context and to offer examples of cultural accommodation and cultural

conflict that arose after the two had encountered.

2. Analyze contentious historical cases by utilizing multifarious perspectives

and methodologies of judging and reasoning.

3. Compare the similarities and differences of Chinese and Western cultures

and of their respective religions.

4. Apply the declarative interdisciplinary knowledge acquired in this course to

real-life situations, notably to discuss contemporary Chinese and global

cultural and religious problems.

The significance of this course as a GE course:

According to the National Geographic published in December 2007 in US, the ratio

of the religious people in the world in 2005 was 85.7%, among these Christians

constituted 33%, while Muslims 21% and Hindus 13%.

It is worthy of note that the ratio of the religious people in China was distinctly

different from other countries. In China, only 8% of the population were Christian,

while 50% were non-religious. In US, on the other hand, Christians constituted 82%

3

of the population, while only 12% were non-believers. 73% of the population in India

were Hindus, while only 1% did not believe in any religion. Added to this, the total

number of Muslims amounted to over one billion, which equalled one fifth of the

world’s population.

One can assert that, according to the numerical data shown above, religion and faith

can still be considered crucially important cultural phenomena in the world today. The

number of the religious people and the proportion of various religions in different

countries are markedly different. With no stretch of the imagination can we know that,

against this background, conflicts may be easily instigated among different peoples as

the process of globalization is accelerating, due to rapid technological advances in

transport and communication in recent years, especially the widespread use of the

internet. What may happen, for instance, if a non-religious person is bound to work

with a Christian, a Muslim or a Hindu; or a Christian is bound to work with a Muslim,

a Hindu or a Confucian? How far can they accommodate each other given that there is

only one reality in their own beliefs? Are they destined to end up in clashes anyway?

In summer 1993, Professor Samuel Phillips Huntington (1927-2008) of the Harvard

University published his celebrated article interrogatively-titled “The Clash of

Civilizations?” in Foreign Affairs magazine, in which he spelled out the viewpoint

that clash of civilizations would very probably act as a deciding factor in provoking

major global conflicts in the future. His conclusion is of course debatable, not to

mention the political overtones in his arguments, but what he put forward can foster

our awareness of the problems or even danger in the sweeping changes brought about

by globalization and technological development in modern times.

In view of the international relations nowadays, it is surely intellectuals who are

obliged to tackle the problems of cultural and religious differences in a serious

manner, and for this reason the issue should in fact form a vital and indispensable part

within the realms of “Gateway Education” at the university level.

2. Apply diverse thinking models to cultural and

religious problems in general (such as from the

habits, religious beliefs and political

environments through close examination of both

Chinese and Western cultures.

4. Apply academic knowledge to real-life problems,

such as use methodologies acquired in this course

and criticize/examine contemporary cultural and

religious questions in China and the whole

world(For instance, the current diplomatic

relations between China and the Vatican, freedom

of religion for students of the schools run by

religious organizations in Hong Kong, the debate

of establishing a mosque near the former World
