Similar to most Chinese intellectuals of his period, Lew could not escape and was to endure the challenges posed by evolutionary social changes. He eventually adopted the social gospel approach, which emphasized both the spiritual and political aspects of the Christian faith. In addition, He promoted modernization in China through Christian education. This study surveyed and evaluated how Lew adapted to social changes, simultaneously developed a theological view toward these social changes, and promoted both the spiritual and sociopolitical aspects of the Christian faith. Chinese Christian intellectuals in the Republican era (1911-49) were typically considered either political competitors who sought acceptance by the masses at the expense of the integrity of their religious faith, or cultural conservatives who regarded Christianity as a modern approach to advancing their Confucian concerns. Lew found himself in the midst of conflicts between his dual identities as Chinese and Christian. As a Chinese intellectual, he endorsed Christian ethical values; as a Christian, he actively fulfilled his citizenship obligations by providing solutions, primarily through Christian education, to national social and political problems, including the international status of China.

What he taught and published during this period were those concerning Christian spirituality, sermons, and biblical interpretation, rather than his renowned specialized fields, that is, systematic theology and philosophical theology. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the contents of and to highlight the distinct principles followed in Bonhoeffer's biblical interpretation works less well-known to theological scholarship. This paper points out, the two interpretation principles Bonhoeffer advanced in that particular moment of faith crisis were what he called Christ in the Old Testament and Contemporizing the Texts, to strengthen the faith of the believers on the one hand and to resist the potential threat from liberal Protestants' historical-critical method, on the other hand. Finally, the paper argues that the biblical and pastoral works that Bonhoeffer devoted to at Finkenwalde were not for the sake of avoiding to stand on the front line of Confessing Church-Nazi conflict, but rather a theologically necessary adjustment according to the actual raison d'etre.

Proponents of the Third Quest commendably situate Jesus within his Jewish milieu, recognizing him as a Jewish eschatological apocalyptic prophet. Nonetheless, there is a tendency among these scholars to accentuate the "Jewishness" of Jesus excessively, at times bordering on the realm of "political correctness". Such an overemphasis risks introducing bias and undermining the objectivity essential to historical inquiry. This paper offers a critical examination of the Third Quest's undue stress on the "Jewishness" of Jesus, positing that Jesus and his followers manifested distinctive characteristics that set them apart from contemporary groups such as the Pharisees and the Essenes. It is posited that a balanced appreciation of Jesus' Jewish identity, in harmony with his uniqueness, provides a more coherent explanation for the distinctive narratives found in the New Testament, the genesis of Christianity, and its eventual divergence from Judaism.
