    Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The topic of the relationship between China and the Catholic Church is fascinating and also a source of many concerns. The cultural diversity inherent in our being 'social animals' often leads to worldviews that are almost irreconcilably in contrast. You may ask, why would a musician like me be concerned with China Because I have lived in China for more than 8 years, I have taught in Macao and Shanghai, and I have had extensive experience in Hong Kong as well. For more than 20 years, I have been interested in the Chinese world, studying its culture, language, music, and painting. Therefore, I believe I have some minimal credentials to say something about the text you are about to read.It is a text by Father Sergio Ticozzi, a missionary of PIME who has lived in Hong Kong for more than 50 years and who has already authored important works aimed at understanding the difficult relationship between the Celestial Empire and the Catholic Church. (Aurelio Porfiri).

    Condición: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The volume approaches the relations between China and the Catholic Church in a quite comprehensive and unprejudiced way. Its approach is new since it clarifies the root of the persistent antagonism of both the imperial and republican Chinese Authorities toward the Catholic Church: no matter how the Catholic approach has been, they kept their Sino-centric attitude. It also points out the lack of a truly objective and complete understanding of China by the Western society, including Catholic missionaries: from a blind admiration to a negative evaluation, determined by contingent circumstances and motivations. It tries to clarify myths and stereotyped understandings, that have been created during the historical process, including the role of the Jesuits and in particular of Fr. Matteo Ricci. It also pays particular attention to the role of the Vatican in the recent religious policy of Chinese Government. The reading of the book could be enlightening especially for academics, university students and Christian clergy interested in the history of Catholic Missions in China.
