Heaven and Humans Are One ― The Witness of the Chinese Catholic Ministry in a Global Context

Chiu presents readers with an interest in Catholicism, the Chinese Catholic Church, and contemporary Chinese political and religious issues with an argument regarding the reunification of the Chinese Catholic Church with the Vatican. The author’s argument is centered on the question of the Vatican’s political relationship with Taiwan and is presented in four sections, focused on an historical analysis of the rift between China and the Vatican, tensions between the Chinese Catholic Church, the Vatican, and the Chinese government, and the basic differences between Confucian thought and Christianity.
