人生与苦难 - 佛教与基督教对话
* 陈坚教授 – 山东大学
* 余达心教授 – 中国神学研究院荣休院长

人在生存中会遇到各种苦难。困难在语义上指的是这样一种生存状态：得不到自己想要的善，遭受自己不想要的恶。佛教认为，人生如苦海，因为人在执著中；解脱在於去执。基督教也认为，人生无法避免苦难，因为人在罪中；拯救在於赦罪。苦难问题，出路何在？

生生与创造： 儒家与基督教对话

*  陈贇教授 - 华东师范大学
*  骆德恩副教授 - 香港浸会大学

每个人在小时候都会问父母：自己从哪里来？随著年龄增长，这个问题渐渐淡忘。然而，对於每个人来说，生命起点意识是人的生存意识的基础。儒家的生生不息意识和本性概念一直在引导著中国人的生存意识。基督教也在无中生有的创造概念中维持著基督徒的生存意识。这两种生存意识相互排斥吗？或者，它们能够融合为一种新的生存意识吗？
