God's Promise To The Chinese

Dr. Ethel Nelson is a well-known student and researcher in the origins and religious significance of the ancient Chinese writing characters. Richard Broadberry has spent nearly 30 years studying the ancient Chinese characters with Dr. Nelson. In this book they share with the reader about: ShangDi: The name ShangDi literally means the “God Above,” or the Most High God. From the beginning of their history, the ancient Chinese worshiped ShangDi as the Creator. The Border Sacrifice: For more than 4,000 years the Chinese emperors annually sacrificed a bull to ShangDi. This ceremony pointed to a coming Savior. Oracle Bone Characters: the authors show that the inventor of the original Chinese characters, inscribed on tortoise shells and bones, knew and believed in an identical account of creation and earth’s beginnings as found in the Hebrew sacred Scripture. As one of the oldest civilizations in the world, and perhaps the only one with an unbroken history from antiquity to our contemporary world, it is an intriguing study to delve into the ancient writings of China and discover that the one Creator God of the Bible (the concept of which comes down through history as Christian and Hebrew teachings) clearly included other cultures, as well, in the “Biblical world.” These studies into China’s ancient culture will enrich your own understanding of the Bible and the unsearchable love of God. Contains extensive references and bibliography, plus an index of ancient Chinese characters.
