In modern history, China people, who were troubled by poverty and backwardness, had a beautiful vision and expectation for "modernization". They believe that "modernization" means the progress and development of the country and the nation, and it is the hope of China in the future.

But when people talk about "modernization", they often take the level of material civilization in the west today as a reference. When studying the west, people not only find that Christianity is an ideology closely related to the western modernization model, but also see Christianity's dissatisfaction and various criticisms of this modernization. Similarly, people are aware of the impact or challenge of modernization on Christianity itself.

Thus, there is a very complicated relationship between Christianity and modernization.

The ultimate view of Christianity looks at the modernization process of human society from a historical perspective, points out new problems, new contradictions and conflicts brought about by modernization, and reminds people of its shortcomings and historical limitations.

This kind of examination observes the stage and locality of history from the whole process of history, and holds that the overall significance of history can only be revealed at the end of history, which is beyond the reach of people trapped in the historical stage and a mystery that the world cannot understand.

However, if people observe the evolution of history and its specific stages based on this eschatology and ultimate concern, they can prevent themselves from being satisfied, intoxicated or unrealistic about relative history, thus having a more realistic and serious historical attitude and sense of responsibility.
