This book holds a place at the forefront of inter-faith diaologue, portraying the ethics and morality of Confucian doctrine in relation to religious beliefs. Dr. Yao draws on a great number of sources to produce truly persuasive arguments and clever insights that demonstrate how the two traditions of Christianity and Confucianism are not so far apart as some might believe. Even if you are new to the concepts of Confucius's philosophy or the doctrines of Christ, Dr. Yao gives excellent objective overviews of both. This book is essential reading for a greater cultural understanding of the Chinese people and their customs in relation to those of the West.
