In the essays collected here, John C. H. Wu (18991986), the prominent 20thcentury scholar of both Chinese and western law, philosophy, literature, and spirituality, illustrates with striking originality the harmonious synthesis of Chinese humanism (especially the wisdom of the ancient sages) with Christian spirituality as articulated in the Bible and the writings of the saints, mystics, and such modern spiritual writers as Therese of Lisieux. They display the depth and breadth of Wus thought, which led him to the conclusion that the wisdom in all of Chinas traditionsespecially Confucian thought, Taoism, and Buddhismpoints to universal truths that originate from, and are fulfilled in, Christ, and that the marriage of the East and the West in Christ is the key to a future concordant understanding.The essay on St. Therese and Lao Tzu is profound and interesting, and the one on Celine, which is Confucian, admirably balances it. I am delighted to see these essays, which I like so much, between the covers of a book.THOMAS MERTONAn astute reader of the classics of the Chinese traditions, a deft translator of several of them into English, and a connoisseur of the rich heritage of Chinese poetry, Wu offers in these essays insight after insight into the deeper meanings of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism, while also critically evaluating them from the rare perspective of an accomplished sinologist who was also a devout Catholic intellectual. Just as Wu himself was prepared for his encounter with Christ through the mediation of Therese of Lisieux, and by his profound knowledge of the great trinity of Chinese traditions, so western Christians may also find in those traditions confirmations rather than subversions or attenuations of their commitment to Christ.ROBERT M. GIMELLO, Research Professor of Theology and of East Asian Languages & Cultures, University of Notre DameIn a manner that extends the great intercultural dialogue started by Matteo Ricci, John Wus work delves deeply into the harmony between the various strains of Chinese humanism and Christian spirituality. Invoking an abundance of rich and fascinating examples throughout his writing, Wu shows how specific elements of Chinese and Christian tradition complement one another, and how Chinese traditions are fulfilled, and sometimes corrected, by the light of Divine Revelation.JOHN A. LINDBLOM, University of Notre Dame
