Academic Exchange Overview
China carried out the Reform and Opening policy since the end of 1978. From then on we saw a surging trend of the research of Christianity in Chinese academia. Discussions and conferences covered wide ranges of areas, including theology, history, philosophy, literature, aesthetics, ethics, science, sociology, education and comparative religion. Seizing the opportunity, we promoted high-quality academic exchange programs with Chinese universities and research institutes.
