Learning about China
Sipping from a Fire Hose
China is complicated. It is both a 5000-year-old civilization and a 72-year-old nation. It has a free-wheeling capitalist economy presided over by a Communist party. Traditions run deep and change happens at a dizzying pace. Where do you go to make sense of it all?
In this webinar, we explore ways to learn about China, from language and culture to history and contemporary society. The goal is not to point you to facts and figures, but to provide tools that will set you on a path of life-long learning.

Christian Theology in a Chinese Idiom
A Webinar on Reshaping the Conversation
The Christian theological conversation spans two millennia. Recently, however, more and more scholars have begun to recognize that, in the words of Andrew Walls, "the theological agenda is cultural induced; and the cross-cultural diffusion of Christian faith invariably makes creative theological activity a necessity." What does that look like in practice? Doesn't that lead to syncretism? Can't we just teach a pure gospel?
Catholicism in China
