| Zusammenfassung: | As one of the most influential and controversial Christian leaders in contemporary China, Y. T. Wu was deeply indebted to Reinhold Niebuhr. This article focuses on Wu’s application of Niebuhr’s thoughts and compares the two thinkers. It notes their similarities and differences on issues including pacifism, human nature, and social transformation. The article analyzes the many outcomes that occurred from the collision of their ideas.
