Ping-cheung Lo’s reading of Yang Huilin’s oeuvre, particularly his early work, argues that Yang’s theological discourse is a means of ushering secularism into China rather than, as is the case with western postsecularity, reversing the course of secularism. In light of that claim, this article explores the dynamics of “theology,” “religion,” and “Christianity” as these terms are deployed in Yang’s work and probes possible points of intersection, as well as contrast, with postsecular literary theory in the West
