“Hong Kong Journal of Catholic Studies” No.9 ‘Asian Ecumenical Movement’      Amy LIU

This issue is a collection of articles from The International Conference on the Asian Ecumenical Movement held in April 2018 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Experiences from India, the Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong are featured. Scholars have considered the situation of the Ecumenical movement in Asia from many different perspectives and have suggested directions for the movement, like wider ecumenism and public theology. The editorial borrowed the idea of the Ökumenisches Forum in HafenCity of Hamburg and proposed a multi-purpose building in Hong Kong that houses not only different Christian denominations but also contribute to the housing problem we faced.

〈現代歷史中的基督宗教〉 古偉瀛

本期的主題是「現代歷史中的基督宗教」，很顯然不但是呼應了第二次梵蒂岡大公會議的教會本地化的要求，也反映了近二三十年來教會歷史研究方法的典範轉移，亦即將研究焦點從西方傳教士轉向華人受傳者的受容現象。本期一共收錄了八篇論文，其中有六篇中文，兩篇英文，主要將焦點集中在中國的信友身上，這是本期的主要特色。

‘Biblical Translation in Chinese’ BARRIQUAND Francois (Chief Ed.)

The Centre for Catholic Studies has selected nine in-depth, comprehensive studies related to the topic of “biblical translation in Chinese”. Although the range of issues covered by these nine articles appears quite vast, all of them refer themselves to a common historical legacy. Each author has been particularly attentive to pioneering translations. Precious and erudite conclusions are drawn, and many ground-breaking insights are provided. The present Issue no. 2 constitutes an essential reference for new generations of biblical translators in Chinese.
NB: The name on the illustration page no. 310 was mistaken. A corrected version of the whole book is uploaded on 17 Nov 2011. Individual chapters are not affected.
