Now in a new edition that includes a foreword written by Wu's son, John Wu, Jr., makes Beyond East and West a profoundly beautiful book by one of the most influential Chinese lay Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century available for a new generation of readers hungry for spiritual sustenance., John Wu's story of his conversion to Catholicism, although perhaps not as well known today, is rightly placed alongside the illustrious early to mid-twentieth century convert stories that we know so well: Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Karl Stern, Edith Stein, and others. This magnificent memoir is all the more remarkable because Dr. Wu brought his Chinese heritage into the Church to enrich her, rather than leaving it behind at the church door. Anyone interested in inculturation of the faith, Chinese Catholicism, profound and eloquent spiritual wisdom, or simply the dramatic story of a great soul, a learned scholar, and a husband and father (of thirteen children), will enjoy this book and profit from it greatly., "Now in a new edition that includes a foreword written by Wu's son, John Wu, Jr., makes Beyond East and West a profoundly beautiful book by one of the most influential Chinese lay Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century available for a new generation of readers hungry for spiritual sustenance." -- Midwest Book Review, "John C. H. Wu's Beyond East and West is truly among the great classics of Sino-Western and Sino-Christian writing. It is a great service that the University of Notre Dame Press is making Wu's poignant memoir available again--scholars and general readers will rediscover the rich intellectual and spiritual reflections that only Wu can offer." --Anthony E. Clark, Edward B. Lindaman Endowed Chair, Whitworth University, Beyond East and West is the beautiful story of the transformation of a prodigy scholar and well-respected lawyer into a devout Catholic intellectual through the spiritual harmonization of eastern and western philosophy and culture. It is the life-long pilgrimage of a learned celebrity full of wisdom, courage and serenity., John C. H. Wu's Beyond East and West is truly among the great classics of Sino-Western and Sino-Christian writing. Scholars and general readers will rediscover the rich intellectual and spiritual reflections that only Wu can offer., "John C. H. Wu's autobiography, Beyond East and West , recounts the story of his early life, education (including his correspondence with Oliver Wendell Holmes), law career, and drafting of the constitution of the Republic of China. He also relates his conversion and first years as a Catholic, his translation of the Bible into Classical Chinese in collaboration with Chinese president, Chiang Kai-Shek, and service as China's ambassador to the Holy See. The book reveals the development of his thought, arriving through experience at the conclusion that the wisdom in all of China's traditions, especially Confucian thought, Taoism, and Buddhism, point to universal truths that originate from, and are fulfilled in, Christ." --John A.

Synopsis
When John C. H. Wu's spiritual autobiography Beyond East and West was published in 1951, it became an instant Catholic best seller and was compared to Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain , which had appeared four years earlier. It was also hailed as the new Confession of St. Augustine for its moving description of Wu's conversion in 1937 and early years as a Catholic. This new edition, including a foreward written by Wu's son John Wu, Jr., makes this profoundly beautiful book by one of the most influential Chinese lay Catholic intellectuals of the twentieth century available for a new generation of readers hungry for spiritual sustenance. Beyond East and West recounts the story of Wu's early life in Ningpo, China, his family and friendships, education and law career, drafting of the constitution of the Republic of China, translation of the Bible into classical Chinese in collaboration with Chinese president Chiang Kai-Shek, and his role as China's delegate to the Holy See. In passages of arresting beauty, the book reveals the development of his thought and the progress of his growth toward love of God, arriving through experience at the conclusion that the wisdom in all of China's traditions, especially Confucian thought, Taoism, and Buddhism, point to universal truths that come from, and are fulfilled in, Christ. In Beyond East and West , Wu develops a synthesis between Catholicism and the ancient culture of the Orient. A sublime expression of faith, here is a book for anyone who seeks the peace of the spirit, a memorable book whose ideas will linger long after its pages are closed., When John C. H.
