商品描述

The volume approaches the relations between China and the Catholic Church in a quite comprehensive and unprejudiced way. Its approach is new since it clarifies the root of the persistent antagonism of both the imperial and republican Chinese Authorities toward the Catholic Church: no matter how the Catholic approach has been, they kept their Sino-centric attitude. It also points out the lack of a truly objective and complete understanding of China by the Western society, including Catholic missionaries: from a blind admiration to a negative evaluation, determined by contingent circumstances and motivations. It tries to clarify myths and stereotyped understandings, that have been created during the historical process, including the role of the Jesuits and in particular of Fr. Matteo Ricci. It also pays particular attention to the role of the Vatican in the recent religious policy of Chinese Government.

The reading of the book could be enlightening especially for academics, university students and Christian clergy interested in the history of Catholic Missions in China.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書全面且不偏頗地探討了中國與天主教會之間的關係。其方法新穎，因為它澄清了帝國和共和國中國當局對天主教會持續對立的根源：無論天主教的立場如何，他們始終保持著以中國為中心的態度。書中還指出，西方社會，包括天主教傳教士，對中國缺乏真正客觀和完整的理解：從盲目的崇拜到負面的評價，這些評價受到偶然情況和動機的影響。它試圖澄清在歷史過程中形成的神話和刻板印象，包括耶穌會士的角色，特別是利瑪竇神父的角色。書中還特別關注梵蒂岡在中國政府近期宗教政策中的角色。

這本書的閱讀對於對中國天主教傳教歷史感興趣的學者、大學生和基督教神職人員來說，尤其具有啟發性。
