A fascinating book showing how the people who invented Chinese writing knew of the Creator-God of the Bible and the events of Creation, the Garden and the Fall. Chinese history dates back to the dispersion from the Tower of Babel.
This book confirms the idea that the ancient Chinese indeed incorporated an unusual knowledge of sacred history into their written language. Concentrating on the analysis of authenticated “oracle bone” characters, the authors believe this book confirms their proposed “hieroglyphic” interpretation of Chinese characters.
Most of the millions of people who use the Chinese characters writing system today do not know its ancient history. A very special project, this beautiful book, now translated into the Chinese language, shows the history of the Chinese writing system as it pertains to the biblical record of Genesis. The English text is on the left side of each page, with Chinese translation on the right.
With full color illustrations throughout and a beautiful layout, this would be an excellent gift for anyone who reads Chinese or who has an interest in Chinese culture and history.
Learn about ShangDi. The name means, literally, the “God Above,” or Most High God. From their earliest history, the Chinese worshipped ShangDi as Creator.
For more than 4,000 years, the Chinese emperors annually sacrificed a bull to ShangDi. This sacrifice symbolized the coming Saviour.
The inventors of the oracle bones system of writing, the original Chinese characters that were inscribed on tortoise shells and bones, knew and believed in an identical account of Creation and earth’s beginnings as found in the Hebrew Scriptures.
