CHINESE CHRISTIANITY AND THE EVANGELICAL GOSPEL

How Generic Protestantism Threatens the Chinese Church

by Dr. Glen L. Thompson

The Chinese church needs to become a confessional church if it is to mature to its full potential within the worldwide church. Written confessions have been important in maintaining the integrity of the Christian church in every age. Many parts of the modern Protestant church, however, have abandoned their confessions, including the Chinese church. The chaos in China throughout much of the twentieth century not only prevented the training of an adequate number of leaders but also kept it from entering deeply into the struggle between the liberal and evangelical Christian worldviews taking place elsewhere. The important twentieth-century figures Wang Mingdao, John Sung, Watchman Nee and Jia Yuming are surveyed as case studies for these developments.
