Amos Yong author of The Future of Evangelical Theology: Soundings from the Asian American Diaspora These pages invite followers of Jesus into a global conversation, one that seeks to live deeply into Jesus' message while being nurtured and transformed by the Confucian way. Confucius for Christians is a model of evangelical faithfulness that embraces rather than shuns the wisdom of others in a pluralistic world. Mike Erre author of Astonished: Recapturing the Wonder, Awe, and Mystery of Life with God Gregg Ten Elshof here creatively explores the connections between the ancient Jewish worldview of Jesus and the wisdom teaching of Confucius. What results from this exploration is a greater understanding of the Way of Jesus a way of seeing and being in the world that calls into question many of our modern assumptions about human life. A thoughtful resource for all those wondering how to live faithfully for Christ today. James M. Houston author of Joyful Exiles: Life in Christ on the Dangerous Edge of Things Enjoy and be challenged by this insightful book, as I have been. The Christian church today needs a radical reformation. Looking again at Christianity from an Eastern perspective helps us in the West be aware of how our enculturation has distorted the Christian faith.
