Based on the author's belief that Christians can learn a great deal from other religions, this book argues that they can gain great insight not only into other faiths, but into their own as well - provided they approach the great teachings of the world with a humble spirit and an open mind. Mabry sets out to show how the Tao Te Ching, Taoism's holy book, closely parallels the teachings of Jesus and actually illuminates core elements of the Christian faith. This ancient Chinese classic echoes the Christian gospel throughout, and expresses truths that Christians are supposed to know, but often don't.
