N2 - During the Chinese Christianity inculturation movement of the 1920-1930s in the Republic of China, many Christian pictures were produced and spread quite widely, including the icons “painted” (actually written as spiritual exercise through paintings) by teachers and students in Fu Jen Catholic University, the comic-strip book published by the Chinese Christian Painting Press of the Gospel, the pictures in the Kung Kao Po (a Catholic newspaper), and in the books published by Tou-se-we Painting House. On the basis of particular characteristics of these images, this essay attempts an artistic and theological analysis of the paintings, analyzing the painters’ effort to foster the inculturation of Christian pictures in China.
