Nathan Ng Professor of Christian Thought (Church History) Publishing is like giving birth. When you first hear the good news of pregnancy, you always feel excited. The author began serving in Baptist Theological Seminary in early 2001, and by then several issues of the Shan Dao Journal, which was founded 20 years ago, had been published. Soon after I started teaching, I was fortunate to be invited to serve as the editor of the eleventh issue in 2003. It was my first time to receive, review and proofread manuscripts, and it was also the first time that a "discussion article" section was added to the journal. Although the work was challenging, it brought me joy. Since then, I have had the opportunity to edit three issues of the journal and write more than ten articles. My participation in journal publishing seems to have never stopped. In 2010, Dean Cao Weitong invited me to further serve as an editorial committee member. Since I have always been burdened by academic research, I gladly accepted the offer. ...

Wong Fook-kong Professor of Old Testament It is a great honour for me to serve on the editorial board of the Sandow Journal over the years. As the editor of a journal, I naturally hope that more and more people will read The Mountain Trail. But I was very surprised that an Australian Bible scholar asked me for the English version of an article I published in "The Mountain Road" two or three years ago. 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. ...

Andres Tang Professor of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) It is clear that Shan Dao Journal is an academic journal, but it is necessary to distinguish that academic journals are not necessarily out of touch with the world. Just as if there had not been the invention of pure mathematics like calculus, science, economics, and industrial engineering would probably not have developed to what they are today. "Sandway" is not a purely academic journal. Its ultimate goal is to serve the church community so that they can understand and practice their faith more broadly and deeply. ...

President Joshua Cho Promotes "Church Theology" Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary is a theological seminary that attaches equal importance to academic research and life practice. Since 2009, we have locked on our goal and focused on becoming a seminary that promotes "church theology." Therefore, the theological direction we advocate, the books we publish (such as the "Church Ethics Series"), the quality of our published articles, the content and characteristics of our lectures...all of these are moving in this direction. ...

"Sandao Journal" (hereinafter referred to as "Sandao") is the academic journal of Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary. Since its inception in 1998, it has been published every six months without interruption. At the end of this year, the 40th issue will be published, which will mark its 20th anniversary. . Therefore, we specially invited the editor-in-chief, editorial board members, and readers of Sandow to share their thoughts and opinions about this journal. ...

Freeman Huen Assistant Professor of Practical Theology (Social Ethics) Dr. Huen published “God’s Justice is Different from the World (Part 1)” in the April issue of the Journal of the Theology, exploring the nature of justice as described in the Bible and pointing out that “justice is not about distribution, but about sharing”. In this episode he will further explain that "justice is not revenge, but reconciliation." ...

Lam Ka-hung (M.Div.) Lam Ka-hung and his wife In His Time In the blink of an eye, I finally completed the three-year Master of Divinity program and graduated from Baptist Theological Seminary! Looking back on the past few years, they were filled with laughter, sweat, friendship, reflection and growth of knowledge. I came with nothing and left with everything. I am always grateful in my heart. Just think about how blessed and gracious it is to have the opportunity to spend more than three years to receive theological training full-time and be built up in my faith life! Thank God for giving me this opportunity to quit my job, leave my familiar environment, enter a new field, and join a new group. Here I can experience the renewal and transformation of my life, allowing me to think deeply: What is the Christian faith? What's going on for me? ...

Chu Kit-wan (M.Div.) Three years passed in the blink of an eye for Chu Kit-wan and her husband, and thanks to God’s grace, they finally made it through. The days of training in seminary are a journey of discovering God, knowing oneself, and reorganizing life. Here, learning knowledge often becomes secondary, and how to practice love has become an important lesson in recent years. ...

Yeung Ka-chun (M.Div.) Yeung Ka-chun and teacher Liu Zhenpeng's three-year theological student life passed in a flash. There were hard times, but also countless happy and unforgettable moments. The intense classroom learning, various college activities, internships, studies, and family all weighed heavily on each other. The pressure we endured was certainly a reflection of our three-year seminary life. Add to that the different challenges that each of us experienced in life, such as marriage, childbirth, illness, and the loss of loved ones, and we were able to overcome many difficulties. Looking back, everything was a sign of God’s grace. ...

Han Yufang (M.Div) Han Yufang (second from left) and her classmates Before entering Baptist Theological Seminary, as someone who had served as a pastor in mainland China for many years, leaving the church to study full-time was a dream I never dared to dream of. However, perhaps God saw my suffering, knew my shortcomings, and took care of my desires; one day, I unexpectedly got a place to take an exam to study abroad. So I prayed to God earnestly and seized this opportunity. Although there were still some bumps along the way, thanks to God’s protection, my dream finally came true. ...
