Features: The origin of Christianity is an extremely complex cultural phenomenon. From the perspective of cultural anthropology today, the emergence of Christianity is the result of the collision and integration of Eastern and Western cultures: the Eastern Hebraic culture, the Western Greek culture, and the Roman culture formed the historical and cultural background and ideological resources for the formation of Christianity. It is a modern academic topic of interest to many scholars to clarify how Christianity was formed in history. Professor Chi Fengtong's major work discusses the historical and cultural issues of the emergence of Christianity from a comprehensive academic perspective of cultural anthropology, religious cultural studies, and theology. This extensive work of over a million words has several characteristics: First, it focuses on analyzing and discussing the cultural background of the emergence of Christian belief, with the scope extending to Paul and not delving into the early church, thus emphasizing the source rather than the flow; Second, it adopts the research achievements of modern cultural anthropology and history to address the historical problems faced by Christianity as much as possible, with targeted discussions on some historical issues related to Christian belief; Fourth, the writing is fluent, though it is well-quoted and rich in literature, it does not hinder the flow of the text, making this historical and cultural study highly readable.
