In this 1880 series of lectures, missionary James Legge, a pivotal figure in East-West relations, shares his knowledge based on more than thirty years’ experience in the East, plus a lifetime of study. He discusses his views on the relationship between Christianity and Chinese culture, as well as his interpretations of Confucianism and Taoism.
