The question we should be asking is, Do we have a Rock under our feet? A Rock that cannot be shaken-ever?" -John Piper On January 11, 2020, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) reportedly claimed its first victim in the Hubei province of China.

Download or read book God and the Pandemic written by TOM WRIGHT and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

Download or read book Classical Chinese Medicine written by Liu Lihong and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in both East and West, but transmits concrete and inspiring guidance on how to effectively engage with ancient texts and designs in the postmodern age. Using the example of the Shanghanlun (Treatise on Cold Damage), one of the most important Chinese medicine classics, Liu Lihong develops a compelling roadmap for holistic medical thinking that links the human body to nature and the universe at large.
Download or read book Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism written by Jonathan Tran and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any serious consideration of Asian American life forces us to reframe the way we talk about racism and antiracism. The current emphasis on racial identity obscures the political economic basis that makes racialized life in America legible. This is especially true when it comes to Asian Americans. This book reframes the conversation in terms of what has been called ""racial capitalism"" and utilizes two extended case studies to show how Asian Americans perpetuate and resist its political economy.

Download or read book China Coronavirus and Loss of Freedoms written by Richard Pulsifer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines; the origin of the coronavirus, history and theories, the loss of freedoms for Tibetan Buddhists, Uyghurs, the people of Hong Kong and Christians throughout China. Views are included from Chinese sources, scholars living among the people, and congressional testimony as well as other reporting. With the Omicron variant of COVID-19 still hanging around in the United States and China it is essential that we review the past. We see a pattern of bureaucratic delay in reporting from four months with SARS 2003, to only a few months with COVID-19. However, the shorter time still allowed for spread of the virus through China, and the world. Possibilities exist that the virus was around as early as October, and lab reports of infected patients were sent to hospitals in December confirmed human-to-human spread. Both theories of animal to human spread, and lab leak remain viable today. The loss of freedoms includes the attack on the cultures of Tibetans by the de-emphasis of Tibetan language in schools. It further took the form of a stabilization program where thousands of informers were sent to monasteries and mosques. Tibetan resistance took the form of immolations. For the Uyghurs, a few “terrorist” events were met with “reeducation”, cruel imprisonment as confirmed by Chinese officials. In Hong Kong , the right to decide for themselves was taken away with a new law forbidding demonstrations, punishing pro-democracy demonstrators, and requiring Communist Party approval of all candidates for Hong Kong’s parliament. Over a few decades, the crosses of churches have been removed, some churches that required some minor repair were totally destroyed, and all others were required to install cameras. Religious symbols in the homes were to be replaced with photos or other symbols of Mao or Xi Jinping. The United States is not without means of addressing these issues. To address the coronavirus, a symposium might be established to include principle theories of animal transfer and lab leak. Steps may also be recommended to China and the WHO to monitor more closely wild animal farms and the markets where they are sold. Regarding lab leak, major labs especially those dealing with gain of function research may add increased safety and monitoring measures. Turning to the loss of freedoms, the United States might want to take further steps of the Magninsky Act to add further more names of oppressors to the list. In addition greater awareness is needed of products being manufactured through forced labor from shirts through sneakers. Those companies that are contributing to sophisticated monitoring equipment should be informed of how they are empowering China in the area of surveillance. Finally, more Christians and others should participate in programs where there is a listening ear such as teaching during the Summer English Program, and also to donate bibles.

Download or read book The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ Volume 3b written by Roman Malek and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-12 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection in five volumes tries to realize the desideratum of a comprehensive interdisciplinary work on the manifold faces and images of Jesus in China, which unites the Sinological, mission-historical, theological, art-historical, and other aspects. The first three volumes (vols. L/1-3) contain articles and texts which discuss the faces and images of Jesus Christ from the Tang dynasty to the present time. In a separate volume (vol. L/4) follows an annotated bibliography of the Western and Chinese writings on Jesus Christ in China and a general index with glossary. The iconography, i.e., the attempts of the Western missionaries and the Chinese to portray Jesus in an artistic way, will be presented in the fifth volume of this collection (vol. L/5). "This unique ongoing project continues to open a new, vital lens to learn more about China in its intellectual and cultural dimensions." John Witek in Journal of Asian Studies
Download or read book Where Are the Chinese Heading after COVID 19 written by ,Lisa and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for the Chinese to know God is significant, especially after many years of blooming economy and COVID-19 because better material life has not necessarily brought happiness, which led people to seek more of the real meaning of life. Ancient Chinese beliefs, Buddhism, and all other religions are gaining more and more attention in China. It is the opportunity and urgent need that Christians who get in contact with the Chinese boldly and wisely share their faith with the Chinese. Knowing some Chinese culture and mindset will help Western Christians to better articulate the content and method to share their faith with the Chinese. In this book, I talked directly to my Chinese friends from what they care the most as career success and connect that to Christian faith. I also talked about Taoism which is a popular ancient Chinese belief and how that is connected with Christian faith. The key method I used in this book is to start the conversation from what Chinese professionals care the most and the philosophy they know about life, and then connect those with Christian faith, turning the direction and steering them toward God. Chinese culture and methods to bring the Chinese to God do not end here. After this book, I keep gathering the ways to bring the Chinese to God. If you are interested in knowing more, you are very welcome to contact me at the email [email protected]. I have more information about Chinese culture in the form of PowerPoint presentations and videos. I will be happy to share that information for free. If you also have some experience in bringing the Chinese to God, it will be also wonderful if we can connect. May God bless His own work.
