Features: The Institute of Christian Culture in Chinese was established in 1995, and this year is a joyous occasion. Over these ten years, the institute has vigorously promoted academic research in Chinese and has played an irreplaceable role on the modern Chinese academic stage, while also forming its own working characteristics. In ten years, the institute has fully and consciously fulfilled its function as an academic platform, striving to connect scholars from home and abroad, East and West, within and outside the church, and across multiple disciplines. Through mutual exchange and joint research, it has achieved a wealth of academic results. To commemorate the institute's 10th anniversary, we have carefully selected outstanding articles from recent years and compiled them into this book to delight readers. From an economic perspective, the principle of clerical priority means adapting the church to the state's financial methods, with the state primarily concerned with ensuring the operation of its government and administrative institutions. This marks the beginning of a process that holds typical significance for the entire history of the church, a process that was first completed in the state churches of Protestant countries with the establishment of the status of pastors trained and employed according to secular academic principles. This manuscript is a study of the economics and ethics of Christianity, an anthology that will broaden the scope of Christian research.
