First published in Chinese in 1997, Lao Tzu and the Bible: A Meeting Transcending Time and Space by Yuan Zhiming, became an immediate sensation among Chinese Christians. By comparing Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching with the Bible, Yuan offers a groundbreaking interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao in the light of the Word, or Logos. He juxtaposes Lao Tzu's "Holy One" with Christ, systematically and thoroughly unveiling the nature and characteristics of the mysterious Tao in a concrete and understandable manner. Yuan's interpretation shows that Lao Tzu's Tao (ultimate spiritual reality) finds real fulfillment in the life and ministry of Christ. A work of great erudition and wisdom, Lao Tzu and the Bible: A Meeting Transcending Time and Space contains deep insight, opening up the secrets of the Tao while under the illumination of the Bible. Rev. Yuan Zhiming has authored 11 books and directed three documentaries.
