A study of the life and times of Bishop Place of publication not identifiedJ. Schereschewsky (1831-1906) and his translation of the Hebrew Old Testament into northern vernacular (Mandarin) Chinese. Based largely on archival materials, missionary records and letters, the book includes an analysis of the translated Chinese text together with Schereschewsky's explanatory notes. The book examines his Jewish youth in Eastern Europe, conversion, American seminary study, journey to Shanghai and Beijing, mission routine, the translating committee's work, his tasks as Episcopal bishop in Shanghai and the founding of St. John's University. Concluding chapters analyze the controversial "Term Question" (the Chinese term for God) and Schereschewsky's techniques of translating the Hebrew text. Included are useful discussions of the Old Testament's Chinese reception and the role of this translation for subsequent Bible translating efforts.

When Hitler came to power and the German army began to sweep through Europe, almost 20,000 Jewish refugees fled to Shanghai. A remarkable collection of the letters, diary entries, poems, and short stories composed by these refugees in the years after they landed in China, 'Voices from Shanghai' fills a gap in our historical understanding of what happened to so many Jews who were forced to board the first ship bound for anywhere. Once they arrived, the refugees learned to navigate the various languages, belief systems, and ethnic traditions they encountered in an already booming international city, and faced challenges within their own community based on disparities in socioeconomic status, levels of religious observance, urban or rural origin, and philosophical differences. Recovered from archives, private collections, and now-defunct newspapers, these fascinating accounts make their English-languge debut in this volume. A rich new take on Holocaust literature, 'Voices from Shanghai' reveals how refugees attempted to pursue a life of creativity despite the hardships of exile.

Zu einer Zeit, als sich die europäische Sinologie noch in einem frühen Entwicklungsstadium befand, zeigte Martin Buber bereits ein tiefes Verständnis für einige Grundgedanken des chinesischen Denkens. Dazu gehört vor allem, dass er den Tao als transzendent und immanent zugleich interpretierte und dass er auf jene allumfassende Ordnung aufmerksam wurde, innerhalb derer sich die diesseitige und die jenseitige Welt berühren. Der Band vereinigt verschiedene, darunter bislang unveröffentlichte Schriften Bubers zur chinesischen Philosophie und Literatur.
