Liu Xiaofeng (academic)

Liu Xiaofeng (born 1956; Chinese: 刘小枫) is a contemporary Chinese scholar and a professor at Renmin University of China. He has been considered the prototypical example of what is called a cultural Christian (Chinese: 文化基督徒; pinyin: wénhuà jīdūtú), meaning a believer who may lack a specific church identification or affiliation, and was, along with He Guanghu, one of the main forerunners of the academic field of Sino-Christian Theology (simplified Chinese: 汉语神学; traditional Chinese: 漢語神學; pinyin: hànyǔ shénxué). However, in recent years, his interest has shifted from studies in Christian theology to the political theories of Leo Strauss.
