Xu Xin was born in June 1949 in Jinan, Shandong. He is a professor and doctoral supervisor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Nanjing University, honorary director of its Institute of Jewish and Israel Studies, and is regarded as a principal founder of Jewish studies in China. He edited the first Chinese edition of the Encyclopedia Judaica and is the author of works including A History of Jewish Culture and An Analysis of Anti-Semitism. In 2002 he received an honorary doctorate from Bar-Ilan University in Israel. His research spans world history, culture, and health.
