Abstract
How to handle the tensions among the Christian ethos of the university, the academic character of the discipline, and the religiously pluralistic context of Asia, constitutes a serious challenge to religious studies in Christian universities in Asia. The tension is particularly acute in its relationship with theology. Through studying some of the cases in the West and reflecting on the Asian context, it is argued that for Christian universities is Asia, religious studies and theology should neither be separate from each other nor to dissolve the identity of any one of them. The relationship called for is comparable to the Chalcedonian understanding of the two natures of Jesus Christ-distinction without separation, being united for the benefit of the whole world.
