“Daxiang Theology is a fine example of comparative theology as it springs up and flourishes in Chinese soil. Hongyi Wang shows us not only that Chinese thought can be compared with Western thought, but more deeply and importantly how satisfying and productive it is to move forward step by step by smaller scale that helps us, East or West, to see anew the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Wang gives us fresh insight into what comparative theology at its best is all about.”—Francis X. Clooney, SJ, Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University
“As a Chinese intellectual with an advanced education in Christian theology in the West, the author is well positioned to construct, as he puts it, ‘a Chinese way of salvation in light of the Christian faith.’ Through a series of detailed case studies, Wang relates Chinese categories to cognate concepts in Western theology—such as the immanent and transcendent Dao to the God of process theology, or the Daoist concept of non-action to Caputo's concept of the ‘weakness of God’—in a way that sheds light on both relata. In this way Daxiang Theology is an exemplary exercise in Comparative Theology.”—Hugh Nicholson, professor, comparative religion, Loyola University Chicago
The Chinese word Daxiang stands for an immense phenomenon that cannot be perceived by human eyes. That is the term Hongyi Wang uses to describe a comparative theology that integrates Chinese religious thought with Christian theology.
Hongyi Wang earned a bachelor’s degree in theology from Nanjing Union Theological Seminary, and MA and STM degrees from Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. He is currently a doctoral student at the Loyola University, Chicago.
