La Noche Más Oscura, y El Amanecer Más Brillante

Rev. Dr. Philip Yeung (Yeung Sek Cheung) was raised in Hong Kong and trained as a medical doctor at the University of Hong Kong. Five years into his practice, he believed God called him to leave his profession to serve in theological education in Hong Kong. His calling was to provide biblical teaching and training for Chinese church leaders, emphasizing the active integration of biblical knowledge with everyday life. After graduating from Regent College, Canada, with a Master of Christian Studies, he devoted the next 40 years of his life to teaching at the China Graduate School of Theology, where he specialized in the teaching of biblical languages, wisdom literature, as well as homiletics and pastoral care. His medical training, his proficiency in both biblical Hebrew and Greek, and his journey in discovering God's calling for his life, all equipped him with insights into the Bible as well as the ability to dissect biblical teachings and help his students apply them in modern life.

Over his four decades of ministry, Dr. Yeung developed a comprehensive theological framework known as Creation Theology, based on an analytical elaboration of the physical, functional and moral orders of creation as portrayed in Genesis 1-3. This framework became an integral part of his teachings on various aspects of Christian life, including vocation, spiritual formation, suffering, and the interpretation of wisdom literature in the Bible.

Dr. Yeung actively applied his Creation Theology framework in Bible studies, workshops and retreats. He was a frequent speaker at the Fellowship of Evangelical Students (FES, the Hong Kong branch of IFES), as well as the Hong Kong Professional and Executive Services (HKPES), a Christian organization focused on equipping Christians in the marketplace. His passion was to train university students and young Christian professionals, helping them to integrate their faith into their everyday work and life experiences.
