撮要

本文旨在討論基督教在二十一世紀東亞地區所面對的挑戰，及當前必須嚴肅思考的神學議題。筆者相信，東亞地區的社會和文化處於混雜的狀態，傳統、現代與後現代並存，故基督教並非僅面對源自西方的後現代問題。為方便討論，本文就傳統、現代和後現代，各選取了一個課題。傳統方面，我們反省基督教本土化與文化民族主義問題；現代方面，我們檢討基督教在東亞國家的民主化所曾有及應有的貢獻；後現代方面，我們思考基督教在流動與液態的文化和社會裡，如何擬定其宣教路向。第一個課題關乎民族與文化，第二個課題關乎政治，第三個則關乎宣教。

本文特別檢討了現存的亞洲神學模式和理論，並從福音派教會的立場，探討未來神學思考的方向。

ABSTRACT

This article discusses main challenges facing Christianity in East Asia in 21st century. The author believes that societies and cultures in East Asia are now in a state of hybridism, with tradition, modern and postmodern aspects co-existing; and postmodern issues originated from the West is not the only problem facing Christianity. The author has selected one issue from each aspect – the tradition, modern, and the postmodern – as to be investigated. For the tradition aspect, the author reflects on the questions of contextualization of Christianity and nationalism; for the modern aspect, examines the contributions to democratization of East Asian countries that have been made, and to be made by Christianity; and for the postmodern aspect, proposes possible missionary directions of Christianity in a mobile and liquid society. The first issue relates to nation and culture, the second to politics, and the third to missionary concerns.

The article also inspects the existing mode and theory of Asian theology, and investigates possible directions of Asian theology in the future as from an evangelistic stance.
