Book Description
The rich civilizations of ancient China and Greece built sciences of comparable sophistication-each based on different foundations of concept, method, and organization. In this engrossing book, two world-renowned scholars compare the cosmology, science, and medicine of China and Greece between 400 B.C. and A.D. 200, casting new light not only on the two civilizations but also on the evolving character of science. Sir Geoffrey Lloyd and Nathan Sivin investigate the differences between the thinkers in the two civilizations: what motivated them, how they understood the cosmos and the human body, how they were educated, how they made a living, and whom they argued with and why. The authors' new method integrally compares social, political, and intellectual patterns and connections, demonstrating how all affected and were affected by ideas about cosmology and the physical world. They relate conceptual differences in China and Greece to the diverse ways that intellectuals in the two civilizations earned their living, interacted with fellow inquirers, and were involved with structures of authority. By A.D. 200 the distinctive scientific strengths of both China and Greece showed equal potential for theory and practice. Lloyd and Sivin argue that modern science evolved not out of the Greek tradition alone but from the strengths of China, Greece, India, Islam, and other civilizations, which converged first in the Muslim world and then in Renaissance Europe.

Book Description
When Jesus declared himself to be The Way, Jesus' followers were to adopt his way as their way as all disciples do. Over time, as the church became institutionalized, professing Jesus without practicing Jesus, Christians became less Christ-like taking their roles as cheerleaders and chaplains for the status quo. While in our safe sanctuaries we may profess Jesus as The Way while it's obvious to everyone else that we casted it off long ago in favor of more 'realistic' mantras, like this one - the ends justify the means. For Jesus, the ends never justified the means, no matter how good the goal. For Jesus, the means were the end. That was and is his way. You love because you love, it's your way, even if it gets you crucified. You don't judge, condemn, or treat others with contempt, apparently even in the midst of a crucifixion, because that's not your way. You help the least of these precisely because, in God's eyes, we are all children, and none among us, no matter how destitute, are "least." That was Jesus' way and clearly his intent to be the way of his followers. The ends don't justify the means, the means are the end. That was and is to be our way. Can a pianist be separated from daily practice? Can an athlete be dissected from years of work and ongoing training? Can a recovering addict be separated from the 12 Steps? Certainly not. They are constantly on the path to becoming. So, too, with followers of Jesus, to join on the journey, The Word and The Way are One. So, if we are going to follow the Word, then we must walk in The Way. Sooner or later, like the wise magi of old, we'll have to set our direction back to the star light and realign our compass with true North, Jesus' Way. What does Jesus' Way look like? Recently, as I will share in the pages that follow, I have found inspiration in a philosopher that lived long before Jesus named Lao Tzu, which means "The Ol' Boy," a nickname with which a southerner like me can identify. As I've read and reread his work, I've found him to be quite a "Good Ol' Boy" and I have learned much. As therapists often say, "The last animal to discover water was a fish." Which means, if you want to learn about your family, perhaps you need to talk to someone with an outside perspective. This is what I've found, an outside perspective in The Tao, or simply translated into English, The Way, authored by Lao Tzu, whose name is often translated as "Old Child." This Good Ol' Boy lived long before states were united in America or there was an America, long before Britain was an empire, and even a good five centuries before Jesus. Apparently, neither he nor Jesus were big on writing things down, and as legend has it, as Lao Tzu was about to leave the country, a border guard said, "But what about your teachings? How will we know The Way when you're gone?" Lao Tzu saw the concern in his face and wrote The Tao. As I read and reread The Tao, I used many translations, though I have referred to Stephen Mitchell's version the most. Like a fish out of water looking back from whence I came, I see Jesus' Way in a broader perspective hearing The Tao throughout The New Testament, especially in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas. The following pages are what happened when I let Jesus and Lao Tzu sing a duet while I listened for the harmonies. This work is not a translation or a paraphrase of The Gospels or The Tao, but instead a blended format with a revolutionary goal, to reunite Jesus, The Word, with Jesus, The Way in hopes that we will spiritually ascend to where he's been calling us to go for 2,000 years, embodying The Way, The Truth, and The Life. The following pages are what happened when I let Jesus and Lao Tzu sing a duet while I listened for the harmonies.
