本文梳理趙紫宸在一○年代末至二○年代的神學論述,從普世基督教的研究視野,重新解讀其早期本色神學。本文論證,趙紫宸的本色神學與普世願景之間關係密切。他倡議基督教中國化,旨在推動基督教普世化。他重視基督教的普世性,中西基督教皆是普世基督教的一部分,且有合作、互補的關係。雖然他致力融通基督教與中國文化,但是基督教始終是融通的主體。他構想的中國基督教將是「基督為體,儒學為用」。
ABSTRACT
This article reinterprets T. C. Chao’s early indigenous theology from the World Christianity perspective based on his writing from the late 1910s to 1920s. This article argues that his indigenous theology and ecumenical vision were closely related. Chao advocated Christianity’s sinicisation to contribute to its catholicisation. He emphasised the catholicity of Christianity. Both Chinese and Western Christianity are parts of World Christianity with a cooperative and complementary relationship. Although he advanced the reconciliation between Christianity and Chinese Confucian culture, Christianity should be the essence. In his mind, Chinese Christianity ought to be “Christian Essence and Confucian Utility”.
