Baylor University Press's Reviews > China, Christianity, and the Question of Culture

“Yang Huilin is a major new thinker on the meaning of language, translation, and Christian theology after postmodernity. His words will re-orient future discussions of religious language and meaning, from West to East.”
—Peter Ochs, Edgar Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaic Studies, University of Virginia

“Yang’s work is the product of a lifetime of careful retrieval and cultural assessment of the contextualization of Christian thought in China. Each chapter is a jewel of erudite scholarship. I cannot recommend it highly enough for Western readers who want to understand thinking in China today.”
—Very Rev. Professor Iain R. Torrance, Pro-Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen, President-Emeritus of Princeton Theological Seminary, Former Moderator of the Church of Scotland

“Professor Yang Huilin is a significant and highly respected voice today in Sino-Western ‘Christian studies,’ that is, the intellectual cross-cultural discourse among philosophers, theologians, and public intellectuals on the future of Chinese society and the possible places where some forms of Christian ideas might fit.”
—Daniel H. Bays, Emeritus Professor of History, Calvin College
