Human Flourishing in Confucian Thought: A Christian Response

I’Ching Thomas, author and Christian apologist, explores the notion of human flourishing in Chinese thought, focusing especially on Confucius’ teaching on self-cultivation and benevolence as keys to achieving the ideal of the Noble Man. Then, drawing on parallels with the biblical faith, she proposes that the Christian gospel holds relevance to the aspirations of cultural Chinese concerning human flourishing as defined by Confucian ideals. This lecture was presented live on April 5, 2024 in Nazareth Chapel on the campus of the University of Northwestern-St. Paul in St. Paul, MN.
