"A Biblical Approach to Chinese Traditions and Beliefs" is a useful guide to Chinese Christians who face the age-old tension of faith and culture. Revd. Canon Daniel Tong, an Anglican priest, examines various cultural practices and beliefs, and provides guidelines so that Christians will be able to live their faith to the fullest while maintaining their heritage. Viable Christian alternatives to practices during major Chinese festivals, weddings, funerals and ancestral worship are offered, and sections on traditional Chinese medical treatments have been updated and expanded. Illustrations and a glossary with Mandarin terms are now included to aid the reader's comprehension.

Tong's sound biblical and pastoral wisdom, combined with a rigorous understanding of Chinese traditions and beliefs, makes this book an important guide for all Chinese Christians.
