Editor's Note The topic of this issue of Sandow Journal by Wong Fook-Kwong is "Interdisciplinary Integration of Theological Research." How to properly discuss this big topic in six articles is really a challenge. Nonetheless, the articles included in this issue cover a variety of aspects and can provide the reader with some insight into the field. ...

Deng Shaoguang, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of "Sandao Journal" The theme of "Sandao Journal" for the past 20 years. The theme of the first issue of "Sandao Journal" is "Character Formation and Church Ministry", and the 40th issue is "Discipline of the Faith Community". If the beginning and the end are representative in some way, then these two issues show certain characteristics of "Sandow Journal": paying attention to the church and making rigorous faith reflections for the church. It is not difficult to get this impression by slightly classifying the themes of the forty issues (see the chart). ...

It would be a pity if Huang Shun, a master of theology student in the college, does not have the "Sandow Journal". "Mountain Road" reveals the enthusiasm of "Baptist" teachers and scholars for learning, as well as their love for the Chinese church. Each teacher and author has his own specialization, some are proficient in theological doctrines, some have studied the Old and New Testaments, and some are good at ethical thinking. Reading "Mountain Road" allowed me to enter their vision and see the past, present, and future development possibilities of the theological world and the church through their eyes. ...

Xian Jinguang Baptist Missionary Association's missionary in Macau, "Sandao Journal" is the latest research results and masterpieces of many theological experts. It is rich in content and helps me face pastoral care (Issue 1, 12, 15, 24) and preaching (Issue 10). , teaching (Issue 13, 24), leadership, or even missionary work (Issue 9, 18, 30) and other services provide the best material for in-depth reflection. ...

Professor Wu Guojie of Christian Thought (Church History) Publishing is like giving birth. When I first hear the good news of pregnancy, I always feel excited. The author began to serve at the Baptist Church in early 2001. The "Sandao Journal" which was founded 20 years ago has already been published for several issues. Not long after I started teaching, I was fortunate enough to be invited to serve as the editor of the eleventh issue in 2003. I had my first taste of manuscript invitation, review, and proofreading. I also added a "discussion article" section to the journal for the first time. Although the work was challenging, it brought joy. . After that, I had the opportunity to serve as editor for three issues of the journal and wrote more than ten articles. My participation in journal publication seemed to have never stopped. In 2010, Dean Cao Weitong invited me to further serve as an editorial member. Since I have always been responsible for academic research, I gladly accepted. ...

Professor Wong Fook-Kwong Old Testament It is a real honor for me to serve as an editorial board member of "Sandow Journal" over the years. As the editor of the journal, I naturally hope that more and more people will read "Sand Road". Unexpectedly, 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 was very pleasantly surprised. It must have been one of his students (perhaps 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 readers from as far away as Australia are also reading "Mountain Road". This affirms our efforts! At the same time, this also wakes us up and reminds us that we must continue to maintain the standard of "Sandao". Seminary students will read "The Way of the Mountain" and quote it in their lessons; likewise, their teachers and foreign colleagues may enjoy reading it. ...

Professor Deng Shaoguang of Christian Thought (Theology and Culture) "Shandong Journal" is an academic journal. This is clear. However, academic journals are not necessarily "off the ground" and do not eat the fireworks of the world. This needs to be distinguished. Just like without the invention of pure mathematics like calculus, I am afraid that science, economics, and industrial engineering would not be developing as they are today. "Shandong" is not a journal purely for academic purposes. Its ultimate purpose is to serve the church community so that it can have a broader and deeper understanding and practice its faith. ...

Dean Cao Wei-tung promotes "church theology" Hong Kong Baptist Theological Seminary is a theological school that places equal emphasis on academic research and life practice. Since 2009, we have set our goal and focused on becoming a seminary that promotes "ecclesiastical theology." Therefore, the theological direction we advocate, the books we publish (such as the "Church Ethics Series"), the quality of the articles we publish, the content and characteristics of the lectures we lead...all are moving in this direction. ...
