Abstract
This paper aims to present the creation of “Sino-Christian hymns” from the perspective of “Genetic Structuralism,” and the inner logic of the indigenization of Chinese Christianity. Since the early twentieth century, indigenous sects construct their sectarian identity by writing, editing, and singing their own hymns. Among these hymns, on the one hand, both intellectual writing and popular writing present Christian faith via traditional images and historical narratives. On the other hand, specific Sino-Christian hymns are selected by individual sects to present their identities and theological purport, which have shaped the distinctive developments of different indigenous sects.
