Giant in Chains: China Today and Tomorrow

by John Warwick Montgomery

This book examines the legacy of Imperial China, the influence of the three religions of China, the historical resistance to anything foreign, the checkered history of the Christian church in China, the Chinese brand of Marxism that filled a spirutual vacuum, the human rights problem in China, and the challenges facing the church in China today. The author explains how the Eastern religions have contributed to the evils of imperialism and Marxism in China, and concludes that only the Christian Gospel offers a solution.

An amusing book....

I'd pay eight dollars for Confucius to come back from the dead with Steve Allen, and they could do one Meetings of Minds episode on PBS about this book!

Weird and far out hardly explains this, though I get the feeling this one ain't on Kissinger's bookshelf yet....
