"Confucianism and Catholicism is a unique collection of essays that provides ample testimony to the complexities of cross-cultural comparisons of religions, but demonstrates that religions with significantly different cosmologies share many aspects of thought and practice that emerge from their common foundation in human experience." —Harold D. Roth, coeditor of The Essential Huainanzi"This is a rich and stimulating collection of essays that is in many ways a model for multi-authored comparative work in religious and philosophical thought. Confucianism and Catholicism will appeal to all students of comparative religious thought and interreligious dialogue." —Aaron Stalnaker, author of Religious Ethics in a Time of Globalism"Confucianism and Catholicism is a fascinating book that explores the dialogue between Confucianism and Christianity and highlights how the two traditions have enriched each other in the past four hundred years, and how they can continue to promote further their intellectual, moral, and spiritual visions." —Thierry Meynard, S.J., author of The Jesuit Reading of Confucius"The articles in this book are consistently well-argued and take up interesting topics. They will all be of interest to scholars or students interested in the dialogue between Roman Catholics and Confucians." —Journal for Baptist Theology and Ministry
