Abstract
Hsieh Liang-tso is the first volume to explore Chinese traditions in the Academy Series sponsored by Oxford and the American Academy of Religion. Most previous titles in the series focus on Christianity, which perhaps explains Seloverâs attention to the perspectives of comparative religions and comparative theology in his introduction. There he briefly traces the history of the issues concerning the religious dimensions of the Chinese literati tradition and outlines a comparative framework for approaching eleventh-century Chinese thought. Inspired by Robert Nevilleâs Beyond the Masks of God, Selover focuses in the introduction on four themesâscripture, tradition, reason, and experience. This framework, however, does not figure prominently until the conclusion. [excerpt]
