Considering recent developments in the emerging field of academic ‘Sino-Christian Studies’ and drawing on analysis of interviews with Chinese scholars of Christianity now in their thirties, forties, and early fifties—the paper discusses generational differences among contemporary ‘Sino-Christian’ scholars with regard to questions of identity, academic disciplinary alignments, and thematic foci so as to highlight some of their contributions to contemporary discourses in the Chinese humanities and social sciences, their openness to marginal or controversial themes, and their inclusion of perspectives outside the academy.
