According to the comparison made, one may find that Xu did not intend to propose any argument deviated from the official positions. Although probably due to the particular situation of China at that time he actually adopted some ideas or positions which the official teachings of the Catholic Church had not yet accepted or mentioned, some of his ideas are actually quite similar to the positions adopted by the Catholic Church later. In other words, some of Xu's adjustments might be merely a little ahead of his time and are arguably in line with the spirit of Vatican II in the long run. This implies that the effort of inculturation made by the local church is not necessarily a challenge to the Papal authority or a departure from the official position of Vatican. On the contrary, inculturation can enrich the Catholic tradition and demonstrate the Catholicity of the Christian religion. / Based on a case study of the Catholic thought of Xu Zongze (1886--1947), a Jesuit and prolific Chinese theologian, this thesis attempts to demonstrate how Chinese Catholic scholars defended their religion in response to the challenges and issues facing Catholicism in modern China. Through making references to the models proposed by major theorist of contextual theology, this thesis also aims at arguing that "inculturation" concerns not only the encounter of cultures or philosophical ideas, but also the social, economic and political issues of a particular society. / Many research projects have been devoted to the "inculturation", "indigenization", "contextualization" or "localization" of Christianity in China. However, many of these basic terms, including "inculturation" particularly, are not well defined. Besides, among the academic studies of history of Catholicism in China, the history of Catholic thought of the Chinese Catholics in republican China (1911--1949) is probably one of the least studied areas. / The documents left by Xu Zongze indicates that he responded to various historical events taking place in modern China, such as woman liberation, labour movement, anti-Christian movement and anti-Japanese war. In all these cases, Xu Zongze attempted to give his responses, which assumed the Catholic doctrinal tradition as the basis, to defend the Catholic official positions. This can be shown through analyzing Xu's thought against the background of the historical development of Catholic Social Teachings. The case of Xu Zongze indicates that the inculturation of Catholicism involves inevitably the tension between the authority of Vatican and the adjustment made by the local church. It is because Vatican, which tends to focus on preserving the Catholic identity and the Papal authority, often emphasizes the continuity and consistency with the Catholic tradition. This tendency is particularly clear before Vatican II. / 李麗麗. / Adviser: Pan-Chiu Lai. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 234-240). / Electronic reproduction.

In this dissertation, the phrase 'Christian Citizen' refers to those Christians who possess a strong sense of identity, believing in Christianity and upholding the corresponding faith while fulfilling civic responsibility and loving one's country. Through gathering and investigating into the personal letters, works and reports and so on of Liu, this dissertation renders an in-depth exploration of Liu's analysis on national character, views on citizenship and his blueprint of the Civic Education Movement. More importantly, Liu did not resort to empty talk but walked the talk, integrating faith with daily life. Throughout his whole life, including, in the early days, the Career Guidance Movement and his work at the Y.M.C.A., his presidency at the University of Shanghai and fmally the righteous action in defending against Japanese invasion during the latter days, the quality of Liu, in being loyal to one's nation, displaying care and concern for the society, living out and walking one's faith whole-heartedly was evident. His life manifested the unification of the roles and functions of a Christian citizen of one's nation, with Christian citizenship vividly lived out. Special investigation would be made into a rarely noted work headed by Liu, Y.M.C.A.'s Civic Education Movement in the 1920s, under the slogan 'Saving Nation through Character'. The origins, effectiveness and characteristics of the Movement would be explored. This study concludes with revealing, through Liu's life, the characteristics of being a Christian citizen and examines the choice of the advocators of 'Saving Nation through Character'. / There is a saying: "One more Christian, one fewer Chinese". It implies a conflict between an Ascribed Identity (Chinese) and an Achieved Identity (Christian). The former is an inherited and irreversible blood relationship while the latter is acquired after birth, being a self-converted social role. Undeniably, conflict of identities brought about bewilderment and impact to Chinese Christians in late Qing and Early Republican eras, causing identity crisis. Role identification is a process of getting to know oneself in terms of cognition, attitude and behavior, affecting daily life and instilling meaning of life. Quite a number of researches in the past emphasized the mental struggle and torture suffered by Chinese Christians under the seemingly incompatibility of the two identities. However, identity crisis is by no means impossible to do away with or integrated. This research attempts to show that ascribed identity and achieved identity can be integrated harmoniously through identify negotiation. The case of Liu Zhan-en (1896--1938) clearly demonstrated roles of being a citizen on earth and that of heavenly kingdom need not be an either-or option. Christians are not only citizens of the eternal heavenly kingdom, but also contemporary citizens on earth. One can live in serving the Lord with piety while obeying legal requirements stipulated by the government. Devoted and sound citizenship could be harmoniously integrated to be 'Christian Citizen'. / 黃錦暉. / Adviser: Yuen Sang Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-03, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 221-252). / Electronic reproduction.
