刑福增

撮要

陳崇桂是二十世紀中國教會的著名領袖，在神學教育、文字工作及巡迴佈道方面，都對華人教會有深遠的影響。不過，中共建國後，由於他對新政權的認同，並積極參與三自革新運動，在國內外均引起廣泛的爭議。本文從思想史的進路入手，旨在探討陳氏在本世紀二十年代至五十年代初間，對共產主義的態度。筆者特別強調，要充分解釋陳崇桂思想的轉變，我們不能忽視其思想傳統與時代處境間的互動反應。陳崇桂對共產主義的態度，恰好反映出中國基要主義者的思想歷程及信仰掙扎。

ABSTRACT

Chen Chong-gui (Marcus Cheng) is an important church leader of the twentieth century. He has exerted great influence on theological education, literary evangelism and itinerant preaching. However, his positive attitude towards the newly established Communist government and his participation in the Three-Self Patriotic Movement after 1949 were much criticized. This article tries to analyze his changing attitudes towards communism from 1920’s to early 1950’s. In order to make a balanced explanation of the shift of Chen’s thought, we should emphasize the conscious responses Chen made to his situation. The writer believes that Chen’s responses reflected the dilemma and predicament of a Chinese Fundamentalist.
