Zeng Guofan, a notable figure from Xiangxiang, earned his reputation as a minister of revival for suppressing the Taiping Rebellion, which controversially used the banner of Christianity. However, his handling of the Tianjin Incident tarnished his reputation. Zeng's aversion to Christianity was not entirely passed down within his family, one of the most influential Confucian families at the time. After the Xinhai Revolution, several of his descendants converted to Christianity, taking it as a means for self-salvation and national redemption. They hoped to fulfill Zeng Guofan's dream of national rejuvenation by embracing and spreading Western learning and Christianity. This study of their religious choices may help clarify the perceived strengths and weaknesses of Confucianism in their minds.

The magazine served as an inter-cultural observation record of the American Presbyterian missionaries' evangelistic activities on Hainan Island. It not only detailed the living conditions and progress of the missionary work of the American Presbyterians in the local area, but also deeply reflected their observations and thoughts on the unique customs, religious beliefs, and social changes in the Hainan region. The readership of the "Hainan News Letter" was both the other missionaries working in China and readers in the United States, making it an important bridge for information exchange between China and the United States. At the same time, this magazine also provided valuable primary source material for domestic and foreign scholars to study the cultural exchange between China and other countries during this specific historical period.

Redemption in Christian context is considered the theme of the whole Bible. Because of the original sin rooted in the Fall of Adam and Eve and inherited by all the offspring of the prime couple, man loses the paradise and sinks into the abyss of sin. From then on, the only meaning of human life is to follow God to get back the lost paradise. Therefore, if we penetrate this theological veil of the theme, it is evident that the story of redemption in Bible expresses exactly a way by which man transcend successfully and absolutely the limited world of his own and enter into the other unlimited one. As a contrast, Confucian morality, in spite of taking a very different look, is even more typically a system of transcendence. Then, it is clear that the essential topic of the comparative research between both redemption and moral cultivation is the transcendence of human being. At the same theme, there are still some differences between these two concepts or traditions. In this paper, the author argues that although Christianity and Confucianism have the same transcendental theme, but they still remain a lot of differences in motif, ways and effect.

Both Christianity and Chinese culture value the role of conscience in guiding moral behavior, they differ significantly in their views on its source, nature, reliability, and relationship to authority and redemption.
