Regarding the *Experiential God: Christian Theology* series: Most Chinese works on systematic theology take a “biblical study” approach, rarely from a “historical and theological” perspective. Dr. Fang uses a historical and theological approach as the primary direction in writing this series of systematic theological books.

The distinctive feature of this series is its exploration of the biblical foundations of each doctrine, followed by a comparison of various schools of thought, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and attempting to analyze and integrate the content, proposing relevant practical applications where appropriate. Each chapter includes a summary and group discussion to help readers better grasp the content.
