近来我把基督教的《圣经》与中国儒教最古老的经典《尚书》结合起来阅读,感受甚多。《尚书》在中国上古时代只称《书》,分朝代则称虞书、夏书、商书、周书。到汉朝才有《尚书》这个名称,以彰显该书的历史久远和意义重大。《圣经》原来也只称“书”(Bible),加上“圣”(Holy)字,以表明该书的神圣价值。早期基督教来华的传教士肯定注意到《圣经》中的神(God)的观念与《尚书》中的“天”或“帝”的观念 Recently I have read and felt a lot about the Christian Bible and the oldest classic of Shang Confucianism. “Shangshu” in ancient China is only referred to as “book”, sub-generation said Yu book, summer book, business book, week book. The Han Dynasty only “Shangshu” the name, to highlight the history of the book has a long history and great significance. The Bible was originally called “Bible,” plus “Holy” to show the sacred value of the book. Early Christian missionaries in China must have noticed the notion of God in the Bible and the notion of God or God in the Book of Rites
