Jesus and Lao Tzu

As theologians and individual seekers alike probe deeper into the world of spirituality, they are finding more and more parallels between Christianity and Eastern philosophy. Comparing the New Testament with the Tao Te Ching, Taoism's most sacred teachings, Jesus and Lao Tzu features astonishing examples of these two spiritual masters leading their followers down the same path despite vast differences in time and geography. Reading these sayings side by side brings a new perspective to the time-honored teachings and presents shared universal truths of human existence that transcend traditional religious boundaries. "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." - Jesus; "The sage puts himself last and finds himself in the foremost place." - Lao Tzu.
