Abstract:

20 世紀初期，在“非基運動”與民族覺醒思潮的推動下，部分中國基督教人士爲了促進基督教與中國文化的深度融合，開始日益關注基督教與道家道教的比較，並嚐試通過經典互釋等研究方法，探索構建一種具有中國文化特色的基督教思想體繫。與此同時，一些思想較爲開明的來華傳教士也逐漸摒棄以往對道家道教的偏見，並將耶道比較研究的視野從先秦道家擴展至後世道教的經典教義、儀式和方術等。儘管這些研究在總體上仍存在詮釋上的牽強與現實關切不足等局限，但其貢獻在於初步開啟了耶道平等對話的嚐試，拓寬了比較研究的領域與路徑，並爲基督教思想的中國化進程提供了重要理論資源和曆史參照。

In the early 20th century, driven by the "Anti-Christian Movement" and the wave of national awakening, some Chinese Christian scholars began to pay attention to the comparison between Christianity and Daoism in order to promote the integration of Christianity with Chinese culture. Through methods such as cross-textual interpretation, they attempted to explore the construction of a Christian theological framework with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics. At the same time, some more open-minded missionaries in China gradually abandoned their earlier prejudices against Daoism and expanded the scope of comparative studies between Christianity and Daoism from pre-Qin Daoist philosophy to the later canonical doctrines, rituals, and practices of religious Daoism. Although these studies were often limited by forced interpretations and insufficient engagement with practical concerns, their contribution lies in initiating preliminary attempts at equal dialogue between Christianity and Daoism, broadening the field and approaches of comparative research, and providing important theoretical resources and historical references for the sinicization of Christian thought.

Ite missa est : ritual interactions around mass in Chinese society (1583-1720) / by Yang Hongfan.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"This study is the first book that explores how the Catholic Mass was introduced and propagated in late Imperial China. Its dynamic exploration reveals the tension between localized and global forms of Catholic rituals, especially the tension faced by missionaries and Chinese Catholics, who were caught up between the Chinese tradition and the Catholic one. Drawing on rich primary sources, some of which are rarely noticed in the field, this book unfolds the intriguing interactions between the Mass and various cultural expressions of Chinese society, including traditional religion, architecture, art, literature, government, and theology"-- Provided by publisher.

Introduction to Ritual Interactions around Mass -- Object of Worship: Grand Ritual of Sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven -- Intention of Worship: Mass for Salvation of the Souls of the Deceased -- Performer of Worship: Indigenous Clergy along with Indigenous Liturgy -- Place of Worship: Ritual Space and Ritual Time of Mass -- On-Going Interactions.
