The Tao Teh King: A Short Study in Comparative Religion

Author
C. Spurgeon Medhurst
Taoism / Public domain
Details
88 chapters English Public domain
About this book

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds of translations of the Tao te Ching, the root sacred text of Taoism, one of the three traditional religions of China. This one, written by an ex-missionary who appears to have had Theosophical leanings, includes extensive notes on similarities with other religions, primarily Christianity, but also Buddhism and Hinduism. This gives a new way of looking at this multi-faceted text, which has always had appeal to mystics of all persuasions.
