Sacred Texts: Chinese Wisdom by Gerald Benedict
This well-presented anthology of Chinese wisdom and spiritual philosophies will have a ready-made market with the current massive interest in China. It has a carefully selected introduction to the great traditions of Confucianism, Taoism, Zen, Chinese Buddhism and Chinese poetry. The prose and poetry are of the highest literary quality and represent the whole spectrum of Chinese thought from the urbane, practical, social and political to the sublimely abstract, mystical and enigmatic.
Gerald Benedict's main academic interest is in the comparative philosophy of religions. He is the author of Watkins Dictionary of Religions and Secular Faiths, The Mayan Prophecies for 2012 and two books in the Sacred Texts Series: Celtic Wisdom and Buddhist Wisdom. He has won awards for a novel, several short stories, and radio drama for the BBC World Service.
