"Emphasizes the kinship of two sages who celebrated the core virtues of simplicity, humility, and love." —Spirituality & Practice
Comparing the New Testament with the Tao Te Ching, Taoism's most sacred book, Jesus and Lao Tzu reveals a surprising set of examples in which these two spiritual masters point their followers in the same direction. With over 90 parallel sayings, readers find fresh understanding and new perspectives here, since the time-honored teachings are presented side by side. The book also shows how these shared truths transcend traditional religious boundaries.
"The never-ending search for parallels between religions East and West continues in this volume, which lays out parallels between the two teachings, both of which encourage humility, gentleness and integrity while condemning materialism, injustice, hypocrisy and violence." —Bible Review
"There is plenty of fuel for meditation in those side-by-side gems." —Detroit Free Press
"A fine multifaith resource." —Spirituality & Health
