True Son of Heaven: How Jesus Fulfills the Chinese Culture
By David MarshallDoes the Gospel fulfill the deepest truths of the ancient, endlessly fascinating Chinese culture? When first published, David Marshall's micro-classic kicked up a small cloud of controversy, as evidenced in reviews below, some calling Marshall a fundamentalist, others a syncretist; and one critic complaining that his imagination runs away with him. No one who loves China and who is open to loving Jesus will want to miss this book, however. Marshall, who has written on China for publications like Christianity Today, First Things, and Books and Culture, shows deep sensitivity both to the insights of the historical Christian tradition, and to Chinese religion, art, landscape, custom, and language. This second edition includes added material that goes far to answering some of the objections made to the first edition. Marshall adds several pages of evidence that in fact the ancient Chinese were aware of the Supreme God, including quotes from leading Christian and non-Christian scholars. He expands on his comparison between the Analects and the Gospels (based on research for his new book, Why the Jesus Seminar can't find Jesus, and Grandma Marshall Could), and updates the book in other ways.
