本文對1949年之前民國基督徒知識分子的耶穌形象這一課題作出述評。首先，就一手材料而言，既有研究發掘了許多民國基督教雜誌中涉及耶穌形象的材料，也利用了諸如趙紫宸、吳雷川、吳耀宗和張仕章等人的專著。吳耀宗、林榮洪以及曾慶豹等人編撰了幾份重要的材料彙編。從材料的擴展來看，進一步的研究還需要細緻閱讀既有的雜誌、關注與耶穌形象有關的漢譯西方著述以及借助電子資料庫作「e考據」。其次，就研究取徑而言，既有研究多數可分為文學取徑和神學取徑。文學取徑的研究聚焦於文學類型的材料，至少討論過冰心、朱維之、王皎我、趙紫宸與張仕章的文學類著述。神學取徑的研究多數集中在系統神學或建構神學的範疇，或以基督論和救贖論為分析框架探討趙紫宸、吳雷川、吳耀宗和賈玉銘塑造的耶穌形象，或從當代政治神學和公共神學的取徑切入。不過，這些研究或多或少都忽略了作為廣義神學之一的經學取徑。近年來聖經接受史漸漸發展，溫司卡和葉約翰等學者開始將其引入中國基督教史研究。最後，就耶穌形象的類型學而言，既有研究主要集中在靈魂拯救者、道德人格重建者與社會革命者這三類耶穌形象。

The article offers an overview of the research on Christian intellectuals’ images of Jesus in Republican China before 1949. First, concerning the primary sources, existing scholarship has utilized many articles related to images of Jesus in various Republican-era Christian journals and monographs written at that time by such renowned Christian writers as T. C. Chao, L. C. Wu, Y. T. Wu and S. C. Chang. Furthermore, Y. T. Wu in the 1920s, Wing-hung Lam in the 1980s, and Ken-pa Chin in the 2010s have also compiled collections of relevant primary sources. More primary sources may be obtained through: 1) comprehensively reading through Christian journals of the time; 2) taking into consideration translated works from the West; and 3) relying on “e-research” of several online databases. Second, regarding research approaches, most previous research took either a literary or a theological perspective. The former, focusing on literary sources, has dealt with those works written by Bingxin, Wei-chih Chu, Jiaowo Wang, and T. C. Chao, as well as S. C. Chang. The latter has mostly emphasized theology in a narrow sense. The theological conceptual frames of Christology and Soteriology, for instance, were utilized to analyze the remaking of Jesus by T. C. Chao, L. C. Wu, Y. T. Wu, or Yuming Jia. Or researchers adopted contemporary theories of political theology and public theology in order to interpret Republican Christian intellectuals’ images of Jesus. Most of the previous research, however, neglects the approach of biblical studies as one of the disciplines of theology in a broad sense. Recently, many efforts have been put into the reception history of the Bible, and biblical scholars such as Sze-kar Wan and John Yueh-Han Yieh have introduced this approach to the history of Chinese Christianity. Lastly, scholars often focus on these three types of images of Jesus: a soul savior, a character builder, and a social revolutionary.
