Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the appropriate way to translate the word 'God' into Chinese, referencing both Hebrew and Greek lexicons and dictionaries, along with Chinese dictionaries and classical writings. The author argues that existing terms for God in Chinese fall short, as they do not fully encompass the supreme and universal authority of the divine. The author also traces the concept of God throughout various Chinese texts, demonstrating how it is understood in different contexts, and how it relates to other spiritual beings and deities. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of religion in China, as well as those interested in the nuances of translating religious texts.
