Now as for the application to the arena of theology, those principle thoughts that I presented in the last post: China has been the place of a growing and flourishing underground Christian church for even the past 25 years or so, even though the Aristotelian line of thinking has not penetrated the culture or been cultivated as the way one should view reality. The differences that Chinese Christians, who obviously have been made so by the gracious power of the Holy Spirit, will face in the area of theological challenges will be more along the lines of the errors of imprecision in their theological constructs. While the Western church does have its share of that, we struggle to find unity within the invisible Church among opposing theological nuances. I'm certain a degree of this will also plague the Chinese Church, I think its greater challenge will result from the gradation tendencies that underlie the very earth in China.
