Paulos Z. Huang, Ph.D. (1996, Helsinki), Post-doctor (2000, Tokyo), Th.D. (2006, Helsinki) in Sinology and Theology, is professor at the Insitute of Sino-Christian Studies (Hong Kong) and Adjunct-professor in the University of Helsinki (Finland). He has published extensively on Daoism, Chu culture, Theology and religious dialogue.
A complete exploration is the first systematic analysis ever comparing the central religious doctrinal aspects of Christianity with those in Confucianism. Huang's work carefully covers the whole history of the Confucian-Christian tradition, and ends up with genuinely new insights. He elaborates on the idea of transcendence in the Confucian tradition in a manner which enables an interpretation of the Christian means of salvation. His explanation of transcendence, and its connection with the means of salvation, is new and unique, offering a clue to the special understanding of salvation germane to the specifically Chinese intellecual history. Huang's book is a must for anyone interested in the Sino-Western cultural encounter.
