Abstract

In Political Confucianism, Jiang Qing discusses the Christian faith and Chinese culture at some length. His arguments are distinct in that, rather than comparing the thoughts and institutions of the two, he discusses them from the perspective of nationalism, national spirit, national life, and the “sole supremacy” of Confucianism, with the purpose of pointing out the inevitable and permanent conflict between them.

Although the book is written in a clear and well-organized manner, the subject is repeated because the volume brings together several overlapping essays (Jiang 2003, p. 8). In this article, Mr. Jiang’s view on the inevitable and permanent conflict between Confucianism and Christianity are analyzed in four arguments with responses developed from the standpoint of Christian theology.
