Yao ofrece una clara y rica vision de como actuo el confucianismo en el pasado y lo que signfica en el presente, considerando esta religion como una tradicion con multitud de dimensiones y como una antiqua tradicion con atractivo comtemporaneo."

Focusing on the concept of wisdom, this book examines the difficulties and problems facing comparative studies of the early Confucian and Israelite traditions by exploring the cosmological and ethical implications of wisdom in the older layers of Christian and Confucian texts.

The underlying idea presented in this book is that there are similarities as well as differences between Confucianism as Humanistic tradition and Christianity as a theocentric religion, and that these similarities and differences are mutually involved and delicately related with each other: while AGAPE can be translated in English as "love," it is in fact more than love, in that it defines the relationship between Christians and their God, and between Christians and their neighbors: while JEN in chinese is not the translation of "love," it is in fact essentially love, both ethical and religious, in that it defines the relationship between Confucians and their transcendantal pursuit, between Confucians and their ideal, and between Confucians and their fellow human beings.
