20th Anniversary of Hill Road Journal

  Hill Road Journal (hereafter HRJ) is the academic journal of the Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. Since its first issue in May 1998, the journal has been regularly published every six months. By the end of this year, we will publish the 40th issue as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the journal’s publication. For this reason, we have especially invited the chief editor, members of the Editorial Committee and two readers to share their thoughts and feelings about the journal.

I guess it was one of his students (probably a Chinese student who came from Hong Kong to study there) who quoted my article and aroused his interest. It is really gratifying to know that fellow enthusiasts as far away as Australia are also reading "The Mountain Path". This is a testament to our efforts! At the same time, this also reminds us that we must continue to maintain the standard of "The Mountain Road". Seminary students will read The Mountain Way and quote from it in their lessons; similarly, their teachers and foreign colleagues may also enjoy reading it. ...
