Format:Paperback
This is powerful and persuasive information -- some are convinced and even the most skeptical are intrigued. Native speakers and writers of the Chinese language readily recognize the import and impact of this work. Excellent sidebar graphics make it easy to understand even for those with no exposure to the language. It is clear and concise. Another very odd piece of evidence among an already considerable accumulation that suggests the existence of the God of the Bible and the accuracy of its record.

This book is an intriguing look at the thought behind the characters of written Chinese. China's ancient pictographic writing has survived nearly unchanged for at least 3000 years. It is the contention of the authors that the written symbols of Chinese "bear witness to the original beliefs of the Chinese, handed down by oral tradition. The record contained by many specific characters carries such a close similarity to the Hebrew Genesis that it would seem only logical to believe that both civiliations must have access to the same common historical knowledge."
This book is accessible to a person with no prior knowlege of Chinese writing. The characters under discussion are explained step by step and also printed large size in the margins, so that the various elements may be seen.
There are many striking points. For example the Chinese character for "to covet" has the woman symbol combined with two trees. Simularly, "to warn" is God combined with two trees. The character for a boat combines vessel with person and the number 8. (There were 8 persons in Noah's ark).
I found it fascinating and thought provoking. It is a peek at ancient Chinese thought that is not available to us by any other means.

I have read this book for the second time after 10 years. Coming from an Asian culture, read and studied in english. Then coming to know Christ and reading the Bible. There are too many connections to disregard this subject. The simplest strokes in the chinese writing offer so much insight. I have personally found more fascinating "CHINESE CONNECTIONS". I am glad that a "Foreigner" could see into this so well. I just obtained the "Genesis and the Mystery Confucius Couldn't Solve". I could not wait to find more "connections" and put in a review of that book. I welcome any discussion by E-mail. and author contact.

Very unique approach to origins apologetic
I think this would be indispensible for your collection of Christian apologetic collection. It's a rudimentary study and much of the material can be disputed but it hasn't been,... Read more
