Is Judaism the yang of China's yin?What cultural bonds tied Judaism and China?Israel and China, past, present and future.These are just some of the topics explored in this book in a historical setting: not Chinese nor Jewish, but Chinese AND Jewish. The book compares ancient and contemporary Chinese sources with corresponding Western literature to show that these two cultures balanced each other in a cultural relationship of YIN and YANG: one as a religion that deeply influenced Western cultures and the other in an opposing environment secluded, isolated and little understood by outsiders.The book also presents China and Judaism through the eyes of the people who have faithfully followed their tenets since antiquity. Readers will see these two cultures in a new light: not as "fossils" but as two vibrant cultures tied by invisible bonds to survive and flourish to present day.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tiberiu Weisz is a scholar of China specialized in cross-cultural issues linking China and Judaism. His articles have been published worldwide including Asian Jewish Life and Sephardic Horizons. The articles are content rich, challenging readers intellectually. Weisz was born in Romania, educated in Europe, Israel, US and Taiwan, is fluent in several languages.

Prof. Vera Schwarcz, Wesleyan University reviewed "The Covenant and the Mandate of Heaven" and wrote: "simply put, a bold and visionary book...Weisz has raised the bar for substantial cultural dialogue."(Points East vol 23, Jul 2008, pg14).

THe Jewish Journal Boston North (Sept 25, 2008) wrote: ... a very readable sometimes dizzying journey from Biblical times through Antiquity to Modernity."

The San Diego Jewish World (Dec 9, 2008) wrote: "His analysis of Chinese and Hebrew sources ["The Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions"] led him to a link between biblical wisdom literature and the Chinese Annals of the Way and Virtue, written between 604 and 531 BCE."

Dr. Alina Patru, wrote in Revista Teologica (1/2011):"Whether Weisz's research is compelling will require a review by a scholar whose knowledge of ancient Chinese classics and Middle Eastern sources and documents equals that of Tiberiu Weisz."

...Weisz's background, his fluency in Chinese and Hebrew as well as his college teaching of Hebrew History and Chinese Religion, provides him with a new and unique approach to the subject... For anyone interested in the Jews of Kaifeng, this [Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions] is a MUST..." http://www.myjewishbooks.com/asian.html

This is a wonderful extensive, very inspiring book. So appreciate the author's patient thorough research on a topic, I assume, is close to his heart.
