T. C. Chao

T. C. Chao (zh-tsp|t=趙紫宸|s=赵紫宸|p=Zhào Zǐchén) (1888-1979) was a notable Christian thinker in China in the early twentieth century. In 1914, he went to the United States to study and received his MA and BD in Vanderbilt University. He was well known for his academic work as a professor of religious philosophy and dean at Yenching University.

During the Anti-Christian movement of the 1920s, Chao advised Chinese Christians to remove the Western husk from Christianity in order to discover the true essence of the religion. A truly indigenous Christianity, Chao argued, would be a useful basis for social reconstruction in China. [ cite journal | last = Glüer | first = Winfried | year = 1982 | title =The Legacy of T. C.
