Rezensionen
"I believe that this is an important project. We all need to pay more attention to some of the pioneers of Intercultural Exchange, and certainly Wu Leichuan was one of these giants. øDr. Chu's! work is careful, detailed and informative. Everyone interested in modern Chinese history will profit from his examination of this important Chinese educator." (John Berthrong, Institute for Dialogue among Religious Traditions)
"øDr. Chu!, in his study of Wu Leichuan, analyzes the difficulties faced by enlightened Chinese intellectuals who attempt to combine Western religious values with Confucianism and find a way to survive under the Communist regime. It is a fascinating story of China's present-day dilemmas." (Merle Goldman, Boston University)
"Dr. Chu has produced a wise, sensitive and comprehensive study of a major thinker and educator in China's pre-Communist decades. Caught in a vortex of competing anti-Confucian ideologies and theologies, Wu Leichuan created an eclectic beliefsystem that uniquely blended his own resilient Confucianism with the teachings of Jesus." (James C. Thomson, Jr., Boston University)
