Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China contributes to the “literary turn” in the study of Chinese Christianity by foregrounding the importance of literary texts, including the major genres of Chinese Christian literature (novels, drama and poetry) of the late Qing and Republican periods. These multifarious types of texts demonstrated the multiple representations and dynamic scenes of Christianity, where Christian imageries and symbolism were transformed by linguistic manipulation into new contextualized forms which nurtured distinctive new fruits of literature and modernized the literary landscape of Chinese literature. The study of the composition and poetics of Chinese Christian literary works helps us rediscover the concerns, priorities, textual strategies of the Christian writers, the cross-cultural challenges involved, and the reception of the Bible.

"We live in an era of unprecedented growth in knowledge. Never before has there been so great an availability of and access to information in both print and online. Yet as opportunities to educate ourselves have greatly increased, our time for reading has significantly diminished. And when we do read, we rarely have the patience to read in the slow, sustained fashion that great books require if we are to be truly transformed by them. In Reading the Hindu and Christian Classics, renowned Harvard Divinity School professor Francis Clooney argues that our increasing inability to read in a concerted manner is particularly notable in the realm of religion, where the proliferation of information detracts from the learning of practices that require slow and patient reading. Although awareness of the world’s many religions is at an all-time high, deep knowledge of the various traditions has suffered. Clooney challenges this trend by considering six classic Hindu and Christian texts dealing with ritual and law, catechesis and doctrine, and devotion and religious participation, showing how, in distinctive ways, such texts instruct, teach truth, and draw willing readers to participate in the realities they are learning. Through readings of these seminal scriptural and theological texts, he reveals the rewards of a more spiritually transformative mode of reading—and how individuals and communities can achieve it."--

« Le tonnerre des exemples et la foudre des miracles (tonitrua exemplorum et fulgura miraculorum) », invoqués par le célèbre archevêque de Gênes, Jacques de Voragine, prouvent à quel point au Moyen Âge la parole pouvait être chargée de puissance. Celle que proféraient les moines, que délivraient les prédicateurs du haut de leur chaire ou sur les places publiques, se devait d’être puissante pour assurer le salut presque acquis d’avance des religieux mais plus encore le salut plus incertain des laïcs exposés à toutes les tentations du monde. Afin de donner toute son efficacité à ces sermons proclamés en tous lieux et en toutes circonstances, les prédicateurs les ont émaillés d’anecdotes exemplaires (les exempla) dont la matière a été puisée dans le trésor narratif de la Bible et dans l’héritage de l’Antiquité gréco-romaine, dans les légendes des saints et les vies exemplaires des moines, puis dans la vie quotidienne des fidèles. Ce volume se propose de suivre ce processus d’instauration d’un ordre narratif destiné à assurer le salut du plus grand nombre. À la fin du Moyen Âge, ces recueils d’anecdotes exemplaires ont aussi servi une « prédication dans un fauteuil » (pour reprendre l’expression de Michel Zink) liée à la lecture privée. Les manuscrits se sont alors enrichis d’enluminures au point de devenir parfois des sortes de bandes dessinées avant la lettre, comme le célèbre Ci nous dit du musée Condé de Chantilly (ms 26-27), présenté ici sous toutes les facettes fascinantes de ses centaines d’images associées à des récits hauts en couleurs.

"Debating the Sacraments argues that Reformation debates concerning baptism and the Lord's Supper cannot be treated in isolation. It demonstrates the continuing influence of Erasmus on Luther's evangelical opponents and examines the role of printing in fanning the public controversy over the sacraments"--
