人生與苦難 - 佛教與基督教對話
* 陳堅教授 – 山東大學
* 余達心教授 – 中國神學研究院榮休院長

人在生存中會遇到各種苦難。困難在語義上指的是這樣一種生存狀態：得不到自己想要的善，遭受自己不想要的惡。佛教認為，人生如苦海，因為人在執著中；解脫在於去執。基督教也認為，人生無法避免苦難，因為人在罪中；拯救在於赦罪。苦難問題，出路何在？

生生與創造： 儒家與基督教對話

*  陳贇教授 - 華東師範大學
*  駱德恩副教授 - 香港浸會大學

每個人在小時候都會問父母：自己從哪裡來？隨著年齡增長，這個問題漸漸淡忘。然而，對於每個人來說，生命起點意識是人的生存意識的基礎。儒家的生生不息意識和本性概念一直在引導著中國人的生存意識。基督教也在無中生有的創造概念中維持著基督徒的生存意識。這兩種生存意識相互排斥嗎？或者，它們能夠融合為一種新的生存意識嗎？
