Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of early Chinese religion, exploring the origins and development of some of its most significant beliefs and practices. The author traces the roots of Chinese religious thought to a common ancestral source, suggesting a connection between the Chinese and the ancient Hamitic peoples. The book examines the concept of a Supreme God, Shang-ti, and explores the role of sacrifice, prayer, and a divinely-ordained moral law in early Chinese religious life. Central to the book's examination of early Chinese religious thought is the exploration of ancestor worship, a practice that is discussed at length and shown to be prevalent among many ancient cultures. The author demonstrates how respect for age and authority, coupled with the influence of the patriarchal system, contributed to the development of ancestor worship in China, ultimately leading to the elevation of deceased emperors to a near-divine status. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of understanding these early religious beliefs for the work of Christian missions in China, suggesting that Christianity is not a foreign religion but rather a return to the faith of their ancestors.
