Feeding on Ashes A Biblical Evaluation of Chinese Ancestral Worship
Chua, Daniel Meng Wah
Feeding on Ashes A Biblical Evaluation of Chinese Ancestral Worship Daniel Chua Meng Wah - Malaysia Kairos Research Center 1998 - 129tr. Paperback, Illustration 20 cm
This book seeks to recognize the importance of ancestor without compromising the Christian faith. It proposes that one cannot expect to make much progress in evangelism among the Chinese without first demonstrating that we have understood the elements of kinship ties and filial piety that are interwoven into the ancestral cult. The way forward is not wholesale rejection but carefully examination, redemption and contextualization of rites that are neutral and social. Christianity must not be seen as anti-Chinese.
