The book explores the reception of the German theologian Jürgen Moltmann (1926–2024) in the context of Chinese academic theology. The author introduces the reception of Moltmann’s theology in Chinese contexts as a dialogic process of intercultural learning and theological meaning-making, encompassing readings of Western intellectual history, Marxist dialogue, political philosophy, and comparative studies. By thus presenting Moltmann studies in Chinese scholarship as an interactive, interdisciplinary conversation between contemporary Chinese intellectuals and Western Christianity, the present theological reception history argues for the full inclusion and deeper appreciation of Chinese scholarly voices and perspectives in the transmission, reconstruction, and reimagining of contemporary Western theology in Chinese contexts. Featuring a representative array of academic texts on Moltmann in the Chinese academy over the past four decades, the book highlights the unique critical potential of these cross-cultural, interdisciplinary exchanges. The book will appeal to academics, postgraduate students, and theologians interested in world Christianity, contextual theology, Jürgen Moltmann, and intercultural dialogue.
