In the 1940's, He Lin, a contemporary Neo-Confucian, did extensive research into the relationship between the Christian spirit and the Christian church, the relationship between Christianity and politics, the relationship between Christianity and nationalist movements and the relationship between Christianity and the Chinese culture. He contended that the Christian spirit was better expressed by Faust's "New Man" rather than the Christian church. Christianity has influenced western politics to a great extent; it still supervises and purifies politics to this day. Although Christianity is opposed to nationalist movements in some aspects, it still helps them forward in others. Christianity is the main current of western culture as Confucianism is the main current of Chinese culture. The two share many similarities. He Lin held that we should fuse western culture and Chinese culture, thus promoting the modern transformation of Confucianism.These ideas have positive connotations for the development of contemporary culture
