Calvin & Chinese Culture
Just a heads up on a lecture at the Meeter Center on Feb. 19. Just reading the advertisement was encouraging for Reformed missions! Click here for the Meeter Center site, here’s their advertisement:
What Calvin’s Theology Means to Chinese Society and its Culture
“In this lecture sponsored by the Asian Studies Program, Dr. Yi Sun of Renmin University of China, Beijing, will give a primary introduction to why Reformed Theology or Calvin’s theological thought is interesting to many Christians or scholars in Mainland China. The lecture will address this question from two perspectives: first the perspective of academic scholars who do their research in the field of Sino-Christian Studies; second the perspective of the Chinese Church. These two perspectives all point to a similar subject: Reformed Theology will play some kind of influence, not only to the Chinese Church, but also to Chinese society and its culture in the new developments of world view, civil society, and life pattern.
The lecture will take place on Tuesday February 19, 2008 at 3:30 PM in the Meeter Center on the fourth floor of Hekman Library. All are welcome and refreshments will be served.”
