蔡高:第一位受洗的中国基督徒

<正>1807年9月,英国伦敦会传教士马礼逊抵达广州,开启了新教在华传播的大幕。然而,初入中国,传教之艰辛,实难尽述。传教士来华,首要任务是传教,而接受信徒,施行洗礼,则是具体表现。马礼逊入华后,经过7年的努力,方有第一位信徒接受洗礼,足见福音事业开创的艰难。1814年7月16日,马礼     

马礼逊与中文圣经翻译

马礼逊（RobertMorrison）是基督教（新教）来华的第一位传教士,于i807年9月6日抵达广州,开启了基督教近代在华传播的历史。     

基督教中国化如何开展?

历史经验说明,基督教在中国化过程中存在诸多问题。自1807年马礼逊入华算起,基督教传入中国已逾200年。如果单从今天基督教信徒数量的增长看,似乎基督教在华200年的传教历程还是"辉煌"的。但若从其在中国社会政治、经济、文化等方面的融入、融合,乃至认同、参与程度来考量,其离"成功"还有一定距离,即基督教的中国化问题尚未得到有效解决。     

米怜协助马礼逊翻译圣经

米怜（William Milne,1785-1822）,伦敦会派来中国的第二位传教士,主要任务是协助马礼逊工作。1813年,米怜夫妇到达澳门,开始了在华传教的工作。可惜米怜于1822年就去世了,仅仅在华工作了9年。米怜来到中国的首要任务是学习汉语。1817年,他便开始参与马礼逊的圣经翻译工作,首先修订已经翻译完成的新约。     

澳门基督教简介

基督教在近代第一位来到中国的传道者乃是马礼逊牧师(Robert Morrison),他属英国伦敦传道会(LondonMissionary Society),1807年9月4日抵澳门,开始他在华的传教生涯。1813年7月4日其助手米怜(Willam Milne)抵澳。马礼逊于1814年7月16日在澳门为第一位中国新教基督徒蔡高施洗(蔡高乃是马礼逊牧师的华人助手     

英华书院

<正>在介绍马礼逊的圣经翻译和中国牧师何进善时,我们都提到过英华书院。今天我们就专门介绍一下这所学校。早在1812年,马礼逊就希望创建一所传教学校,他说:"要在马六甲建立一所学校,来培养海外传教士。"通过米怜的辛勤工作,马礼逊的这个愿望终于实现了。1815年10月,马礼逊和米怜着手为英华书院筹款,他们向英国教会写了一封公开信,介绍在马六甲建立英华书院的计划。     

早期来华传教士活动特点及其影响——以马礼逊和东印度公司的关系及其参与英国对华外交政治为例

本文以马礼逊和东印度公司的关系及其参与英国对华政治外交为例,分析了早期来华传教士活动特点及其影响。文章指出,在当时的历史背景下,传教士和殖民扩张势力的合流,是历史的必然,这也使当时的传教活动在中国并不成功。文章也肯定了马礼逊等在传教事业上所做的基础工作及其在中西文化交流方面的贡献。     

马礼逊与中国文化的对话——《马礼逊文集》出版感言

基督教在华传教与中西文化的交流和对话,是中国学术界在思想认知上分歧较大的问题。人们通常较为强调在政治领域的社会及文明冲突,以及基督教由此而有的负面影响。但从人类文化交流的角度来看,也必须注意基督教对中西文化交流的历史推动和在中西文化对话中的积极参与。本文以《马礼逊文集》的出版为契机,从马礼逊在近代中西文化交流与对话中的作用及意义来思考基督教在华存在和在中国文化中如何定位等问题,以便能为正确处理今天基督教与中国社会文化的关系提供思路和启迪。     

麦都思的基督教《三字经》(一)

<正>"人之初,性本善,性相近,习相远。"这些出自《三字经》的句子,几乎每一个中国人都耳熟能详,是中国人喜闻乐见的儿童启蒙教材。马礼逊早已意识到它的重要性,早在1812年他就向英国读者介绍和翻译了《三字经》。尽管如此,马礼逊并没有意识到用"三字经"的形式来宣传基督教教义,他在广州用中文     

《华严经》的构成和思想

1、以杂华装饰的无限大的佛华严——持杂华庄严佛《法华经》是讲述妙法的经。而《华严经》是《大方广佛华严经》,它以“佛”为重点。《法华经》是说法的经,而《华严经》是说佛的经。作为大乘佛教具有代表性的经典就是《法华经》和《华严经》。《华严经》全称《大方广佛华严经》,《法华经》全称《妙法莲华经》,通常略称为《法华经》,竺法护(约230—308)     

The Double Face of Christian Mission and Education in India from Dalit and Decolonial Perspectives

Missionaries from Europe came to India starting in the 15th century to preach the gospel. Their mission works have both intended and unintended consequences that affect people even today. Missionaries brought modern education to India and gave Western education to Dalits, leading to the social uplifting of Dalits, who were denied education by the oppressive caste system. Some missionaries also spoke against the social evils during their time. On the other hand, some missionaries’ work at times highlighted the Brahmanic religion as a pan-India religion which placed popular religions in a disadvantaged position. Furthermore, their work also helped the British colonial government to maintain control and become powerful. The translation work of the missionaries and the educational institutions helped the colonial government to strengthen its control over the local population. This article discusses the mission work of Robert de Nobili, Bartholomew Ziegenbalg, and William Carey and evaluates their mission works from Dalit and decolonial perspectives.

Guns and gospel: a critical examination of Christian missions in China

This article focuses on the British attempt to enter China, the role of the East India Company, the opium trade and the ensuing war (1839–1842). It examines the missionaries’ ambivalent attitudes towards the opium trade and wars, which vacillated between silence, conniving and condemnation. From the missionaries’ point of view, everything was calculated towards furthering the Great Commission (Matt. 28.18–20), and so most Christians at that time did not think it was odd that opium trading and gospel preaching could be endorsed in the same treaty. Opium traffickers and Christian preachers may make strange bedfellows but, in this case, they supported the unequal treaties that Britain imposed on China for different reasons.
