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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins and intricacies of the word used to represent God in Chinese translations of the Bible. The author thoroughly examines the meanings of the terms Elohim and Theos, their historical and linguistic nuances, and how they have been interpreted by various lexicographers and scholars. Through a detailed analysis of the Chinese terms Te, Shang Te, and Theen, the book explores their usage in ancient Chinese literature and religious texts to shed light on the Chinese understanding of the Supreme Being. By examining the semantic evolution and cultural significance of these terms, this book unravels the complex tapestry of religious thought and linguistic expression in Chinese history, offering valuable insights into the intersection of language, culture, and spirituality in Chinese civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible First Edition
First edition. Chinese characters interspersed throughout the text. 8vo. New paper boards, printed paper label on spine. Partly foxed and browned, overall still a good copy. Ex-libris of John Lawson on front free pastedown. [ii], 170pp. Shanghai, Printed at the Mission Press, Medhurst (1796-1857) continued the theological/linguistic dispute where the Jesuits had left off: In the 1840s a controversy erupted amongst the Protestant missionaries as to the proper way to translate the term 'God' 'Theos' or 'Elohim' into Chinese. Was it going to be tian (Heaven), shen (Ghost or Spirit) or shangdi (Supreme Deity) or tiandi (Heavenly Deity)? Should the character for di (Deity) - which can be singular or plural and includes higher and lesser gods - be used at all? Furthermore tian (heaven) was often used synonymously with shangdi (Supreme Deity). Medhurst traces the development of the terms in Classical Chinese literature (from the Book of Odes to Confucianism and Daoism, as well as definitions in Chinese dictionaries) to the present day (when Morrison and Milne used shen or combinations with shen) to analyse the linguistic and cultural conundrums and finally comes down in favour of tiandi (Heavenly Deity). "Had the Chinese not been in the habit of exalting their departed progenitors and ancient sages to the ranks of gods, the word Te (di) alone, (as defined in the Imperial dictionary to be one of the names of Heaven or the Divinity, and the names of various spiritual beings the object of spiritual worship) would have been sufficiently distinct; but seeing that they have adopted this practice, and some might be led to confound these latter with the deified emperors and sages, the use of the compound phrase T'hëen te (tiandi). will remove every obscurity and make the term definite and unmistakeable." (p. 167). Lust 956. Extremely rare. .
