The hidden differences between Confucian and Christian ways of thinking ; Four obstacles in the Confucian-Christian dialogue ; Affirmative elements in the Confucian-Christian dialogue.A complete exploration is the first systematic analysis ever comparing the central religious doctrinal aspects of Christianity with those in Confucianism. Huang's work carefully covers the whole history of the Confucian-Christian tradition, and ends up with genuinely new insights. He elaborates on the idea of transcendence in the Confucian tradition in a manner which enables an interpretation of the Christian means of salvation. His explanation of transcendence, and its connection with the means of salvation, is new and unique, offering a clue to the special understanding of salvation germane to the specifically Chinese intellecual history. Huang's book is a must for anyone interested in the Sino-Western cultural encounter.Studies in systematic theology (Leiden, Netherlands) ;v. 3.Christianity and other religionsConfucianismConfucianismRelationsChristianityElectronic books.Christianity and other religionsConfucianism.ConfucianismRelationsChristianity.261.2/99512Huang Paulos Zhanzhu982978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459254903321Confronting Confucian understandings of the Christian doctrine of salvation2243439UNINA
