Opis

Perhaps, China is the only country, where no religion dominates and prevails. Although the traditional Chinese religions occurred, Buddhism was and is popular and missionaries tried to their best to promote Christianity, it is still hard for the Chinese people to become really religious because theocracy did not appear in China, the Chinese people never waged a religious war and religion reforms never took place in China. In this book: (i) the author at first explores the possibility of if God had touched China because God touched Middle East according to the Bible, (ii) the author analyzes what defines Chinese national identity because Europe is defined by Christianity, (iii) the author discusses if Chinese history can be separated from religion because history in many countries cannot be separated from religion, (iv) the author explains why traditional Chinese religion cannot prevail in China, (v) the author reveals a possible reason why the Chinese people may not be suitable to religion, and (vi) the author broadens his discussion to ask whether God is punishing us now in parallel to the case of the Tower of Babel.
