Summary:

Not until now has the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu been presented
alongside the otherworldly revelation of Jesus Christ in a way that
encompasses the full significance of both. Christ the Eternal Tao
presents the Tao Teh Ching as a foreshadowing of what would be
revealed by Christ, and Lao Tzu himself as a Far-Eastern prophet of
Christ the incarnate God. Through heretofore unpublished translations
and teachings of Gi-ming Shien -- perhaps the greatest Chinese
philosopher to have ever come to the West -- this book uncovers the
esoteric core of the Tao Teh Ching. Then, through the transmission of
mystics of the ancient Christian East, Lao Tzu's teaching is brought
into a new dimension, exploding with new meanings. Christ, in turn,
is seen in a unique light, His pure image shining in the clarity of
Lao Tzu's intuitive vision. With its practical, time-tested advice on
how to unite oneself with the incarnate Tao and acquire uncreated
Teh, this is both a philosophical source-book and a spiritual manual,
touching the heart and leading one to profound inward transformation.
It is a long-awaited Answer to those who, having turned away from
modern Western "churchianity," are drawn to the freshness, directness
and simplicity of Lao Tzu, and at the same time are strangely,
inexplicably drawn back to the all-compelling reality of Jesus
Christ. The book is adorned with Chinese calligraphy and seals
(created especially for it by well-known Chinese artists), and with
traditional Chinese paintings of the life of Christ.
