Shaanxi Bible School conducted a special lecture titled "See Christianity and Chinese Culture from Emotional Philosophy."
The lecture was given at the "Chang'an Forum" of Shaanxi Province’s Sinicization of Christianity Research Center on April 19 by Dr. Li Jian from the Laozi (an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer) Institute of Xi’an International University, according to Shaanxi CC&TSPM.
Dr. Li expounded on the correlation between Christianity and Chinese culture from four perspectives: emotional philosophy, emotional turn, emotional philosophy with emotional objects, and emotional philosophy with Chinese culture. He emphasized the emotional philosophy within the Christian belief, specifically the subjective relationship between God and humans. This included the transformation from a nihilistic viewpoint based on unwavering rationalism to a vibrant life filled with love, hope, and faith. Particularly, Dr. Li highlighted that the philosophy of emotion was ingrained in the thoughts of Confucius and Laozi in traditional Chinese culture.
This lecture enabled attendees to comprehend the relationship between Christianity and Chinese culture in academia from the perspective of emotional philosophy. It also strengthened their confidence in the direction of the Sinicization of Christianity, encouraging them to explore the theory and practice of developing Christianity in the Chinese context.

陕西圣经学校举行题为“从情感哲学看基督教与中国文化”的专题讲座。
据陕西省基督教两会，4月19日，陕西圣经学校邀请西安外事学院老子学院李健博士在陕西省基督教中国化研究中心“长安论坛”作题为“从情感哲学看基督教与中国文化”的专题讲座。
李博士从情感哲学、情感转向、情感哲学与情感对象、情感哲学与中国文化四个方面阐述了基督教与中国文化的关系。他重点讲解了基督教信仰中的情感哲学——神与人之间的主体性关系，人从绝对理性主义所产生的虚无中走向信、望、爱的满有活力的生命。李博士特别指出，中国传统文化中孔子、老子的思想中也弥散着情感哲学。
此次讲座使大家了解了学术界从情感哲学角度探索基督教与中国文化的渊源关系，坚定了其坚持基督教中国化方向的信心，激励大家不断探索基督教中国化的理论与实践。
