After leaving Kuala Lumpur, one question stayed with me: were we, throughout the conference, actually speaking about the same thing when we used the term ‘public theology’?
The conference, "Chinese Christian Scholarship and the Church in Global Perspective: Review and Prospect," organized by the Institute of Advanced Studies of Chinese Christianity (IASCC) was certainly a fruitful event.
The Chinese church is gradually moving from numerical breadth to intellectual maturity—from movement-driven growth to the building of institutions and a knowledge tradition.
These sessions showcased the intensity and seriousness with which this generation is pursuing in-depth knowledge with academic integrity, intellectual purpose, and faith.
