Huang delineated the prevailing state of Old Testament studies in China from five distinct vantage points: ecclesiastical, seminary, scholarly, translational, and academic perspectives. He dissected the merits and challenges inherent in Old Testament scholarship while advocating for the alignment of Old Testament studies with the overarching goal of sinicizing Christianity.
