Jason Lam is originally from Hong Kong and joined MST in 2019 and is now senior lecturer in Christian thoughts. He teaches subjects related to Christian doctrines, history of Christian thoughts, and methods in theology. Jason reads hermeneutics and modern theology, and endeavours to bring the scriptures, philosophy, and contextual issues together for theological reflection. His research interests include theological and philosophical hermeneutics, modern Christian thoughts, and contextualization of theology. He is currently working on several projects on the theology of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Jürgen Moltmann, the use of Scriptures in the Chinese context and Sino-Christian theology.
