  The significance of the work of Yang Huilin (Professor of Comparative Literature and Religious Studies, Renmin University of China, Beijing) is widely recognized in numerous scholarly fields. Professor Yang’s career is further distinguished by his service as vice president of Renmin University and as president of the Chinese Comparative Literature Association. The author of numerous books in the fields of cultural studies, comparative literature, and religion, in 2015 Professor Yang was awarded a Christianity Today Book Award for his book China, Christianity, and the Question of Culture (Baylor UP). In celebration of Professor Yang’s scholarly contributions, Between Different Cultures presents a representative collection of the editorials Professor Yang has written for the journal he founded in 1999, the Journal for the Study of Christian Culture, of which he is the current editor. Each editorial, originally written in Chinese, is paired with an essay from a leading European or North American scholar whose work has connected with Yang Huilin. These essays illustrate the remarkable range of Professor Yang’s scholarship and his involvement with many of the most important issues in global cultural and theological debates over the past three decades. A tireless traveler, Professor Yang has made numerous friendships with scholars across the world, and those relationships have in turn contributed to the cultural exchanges between the West and China. In just such a spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, these essays are offered as a token of admiration and regard.

  In this article I discuss some developments in the relationship between Roman Catholicism and Judaism since 1945. By way of introduction, I consider changes in the Roman Catholic Good Friday liturgy regarding the Jews. Then, I concentrate on three developments: First, I address some longstanding Christian anti-Jewish attitudes and prejudices. Second, I explore changing perspectives on Judaism up to and during the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). Third, I discuss some promising postconciliar developments in the emerging dialogue between Catholics and Jews and examine some problematic aspects of Christian soteriology and their impact on Christian-Jewish relations.

  En påves död markerar ett väsentligt skifte i den romerskkatolska kyrkans liv. Inom kyrkan åtnjuter påven närmast absolut makt. Det innebär att alla biskopar och kardinaler i världen samt alla anställda inom Vatikanen är beroende av påvens personlighet, beslut, reformer eller traditionsbevarande insatser. När en påve dör nollställs alltså, åtminstone i rättsligt förstånd, alla centrala maktkompetenser i denna hierarkiskt organiserade kyrka. Franciskus död vid årets påskhögtid ger anledning till en första bilans av hans pontifikat samt till en försiktig inordning av pontifikatet i kyrkans historia och vidare väg.

  Abstract This article discusses the potential of Christoph Schwöbel’s relational theology for a reconsideration of Christian faith between church teaching and the dynamic praxis of love. Faith is approached as a relational phenomenon that is always already inspired by and confronted with shifting human expectations. At the interface between human expectations and God’s ongoing self-communication, theology reflects on both in a critical and self-critical manner. The future orientation of faith is then discussed in terms of God’s love, promise and faithfulness. Finally, the article argues for the need to develop a new concept of the soul as the relational centre of human beings.

  This article discusses the results of a research project on the relationship between statistically significant church growth in four selected Church of Norway parishes and the practice of baptism in their Sunday service. While the frequency of baptisms may have increased overall attendance at Sunday worship, parishioners at times regret the impact of Sunday service baptism on the ordinary life and development of the congregation. Through the theological eyes of a newcomer to the Church of Norway, this article problematizes the concept of church growth and explores the theological tension between baptism and Eucharist in the life of the church. The overall argument is that it makes little sense to celebrate the sacrament of baptism while not being prepared to engage in a life-long journey with God and fellow disciples of Jesus Christ. Separate and public baptismal services in the church will make it possible to concentrate more fully on the sacramental nature, performance and vocational challenge of baptism – not only for the person being baptised, but for the parish as a whole.

  This article discusses the theological virtue of hope in relation to the Christian expectation of God's coming reign. Hope, as distinct from optimism and from all sorts of individualistic hopes, refers to God's gift of future. Hence, the tension between expecting God's coming reign, on the one hand, and the challenge of living constructively in the here and now, on the other hand, engages theological approaches to hope. It is argued that the divine gift of love, rather than faith, provides the main source of orientation for the Jewish and the Christian praxis of hope in this world. Faith is often understood in terms of assent to certain doctrinal definitions, while the other dimension of faith, God's offer of relationship, has moved to the background. Accepting love as guide to the Christian praxis of hope strengthens the relational nature of hope. No one can hope for herself or himself alone. The Gospels and the Pauline letters confirm the centrality of love for Christian discipleship. The article concludes with, first, a discussion of the contemporary challenge of migration; and, second, with a consideration of the connection between hope for personal fulfilment and hope for the future of the universe. Both examples point to a theology that is inspired by love and equipped to approach Christian discipleship in a spirit of hope.
