本文作為對《建道學刊》前期所刊一篇文章的回應，側重討論了有關趙紫宸研究的七個關鍵問題，即:趙紫宸與吳耀宗的關係、協進會的淡出、趙紫宸與西教士的關係、趙紫宸研究中的史學原則、青年會與基督教學生運動的糾結、趙紫宸辭去世界教會聯合會會長的始末，以及趙紫宸的悲劇性。本文作者認為，趙紫宸罹禍，固然是當時險惡政治環境中不可避免的結果，然而，他從此在自我作賤復作賤他人的「集體無意識」中得以有意地無為，今天看來也未始不是值得慶幸之事。本文以充分的史料為根據，以嚴謹的分析作先導，嘗試重新描繪本世紀中國這位傑出的基督教神學家在人民共和國建國之初鮮明生動的形象。

ABSTRACT

As a response to an article published in Jian Dao issue 9, the present paper discusses seven central issues with regard to the study of T.C. Chao (1888-1979), the most distinguished theologian China has ever produced: namely, T.C. Chao vs. Y.T. Wu; the dysfunction of the National Christian Council of China: the principle of historical neutrality attested in the study of T.C. Chao; the Young Men Christian Association/the Young Women Christian Association’s interaction with the Student Christian Movement in China; T.C. Chao’s withdrawal from the World Christian Council; and T.C. Chao as reflected in the tragedy of Chinese Christian intellectuals. In attempting to portray a true to life picture of T.C. Chao, the author provides some minute analyses and in-depth comments based on available historical evidences from various sources. The paper concludes with a reflection on the presence of non-participation and its function, which was obviously adopted by T.C. Chao during the first years of the Peoples Republic of China. The author includes in the appendix five relevant historical documents which have so far remained unknown to the majority of Chinese scholarship.
