| Abstract | The paper examines the life and writings of Liu Ning 劉凝 (1620-1715?), who was a first-generation Catholic convert and a lesser-known Confucian classicist in the early Qing period. With a close reading of the correspondences between his expertise on classical philology and his Christian faith as shown in apologetic writings, I will discuss on how Liu made conscious efforts to restore what he believed the true Confucian knowledge from the classical antiquity by referring to Xixue 西學 (Western Learning) advocated by the Jesuits and leading Confucian converts over the past decades. As a result, the Christian recovery of the original form of Confucianism not only stood for Liu’s final solution to rectify the absurd Buddhist teachings and the deviations of Song-Ming Neo-Confucianism, but it also led to a strategic path through which Liu could justify his composite yet marginal Christian-Confucian identity along with the growth of evidence-based studies in the early Qing Confucian intelligentsia. |
