This paper chooses Watchman Nee’s teaching to analyze the indigenous theology’s indigenization strength and syncretism risk in a Chinese context. Even though there are already many research results about Watchman Nee’s teaching, existing research contributes very little to indigenization and syncretism.

Moreland and William Lane Craig define aseity as “God’s self-existence or independence,” John Webster contends that such a limited definition fails to capture … Read more
The dual nature of Christ has been the center of much debate in historic Christology, particularly over the articulation of the two natures in the one person of Jesus. The Chalcedonian Definition has served as the bedrock for the later development of Christological doctrine. This Definition states, “acknowledge in two natures, incofusedly, unchangeable, indivisibly, inseparably…” … Read more
