Blessings Online Forum
The Blessings Online Forum was founded in 2021. After being paused for a period of time, it was relaunched in 2024.
Centered on the theology of the Christian faith, the forum explores interdisciplinary questions and connections between Christianity and fields such as philosophy, history, science, culture, religion, and society.
The purpose of the forum is to invite scholars and experts in theology to engage in dialogue between Christianity and Chinese cultural and social contexts, helping Chinese Christian intellectuals broaden and deepen their understanding of their own faith and prepare to respond to the needs of society and our times.
