This book, a twentieth-anniversary revised and expanded edition, includes studies that range from exploration of the philosophical structure of Eastern culture to present-day sociopolitical realities in Malaysia and China--all in support of cross-cultural methods of reading the Bible culturally and reading the cultures biblically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"K.K. Yeo addresses culture with the same analytical acuity as he addresses the Bible, and the dialogue between these brings rich new insight to Christian theology. Yeo's cross-cultural hermeneutic issued a provocative methodological challenge to 'mainstream' theologians, while this twentieth anniversary re-issue celebrates Yeo's scholarship as well as the great growth of Chinese theology in the intervening decades--growth brought about in no small part by Yeo's contribution.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Chloe Starr, Yale Divinity School\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"What Has Jerusalem to Do with Beijing is the best book I have read in recent years on cross-cultural hermeneutics of the Bible and Chinese Classics in view of their mutual enrichment . . . I strongly recommend it as a must read for scholars and graduate students . . . as well as for Chinese people themselves, especially those interested in understanding more deeply their inner desire for meaningfulness in reference to Chinese Classics and the Bible.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Vincent Shen, University of Toronto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"The author brings together for mutual dialogue and engagement, under the guiding principles of inclusivity and respect, Jerusalem (the Bible) and Beijing (Chinese culture). This he does by way of a sharp and fruitful combination of traditional themes from Chinese culture, Christian theology, and the biblical texts . . . The result is an excellent exercise in cross-cultural interpretation and a volume I would highly recommend to anyone interested in this unfolding global discussion.\"\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Fernando F.

Yeo is one of the very few Chinese biblical scholars who dares to take on the task of integrating and interpreting the Bible from a Chinese cultural perspective.

K. Yeo addresses the fundamental question of the relationship between Scripture (Jerusalem) and cultures--the Chinese and Western cultures that he splendidly embodies as a bicultural biblical scholar . . . Yeo illustrates how much we Western interpreters have to learn from Chinese interpreters; as one of them Yeo helps us recognize the community-centered perspectives of biblical texts that we had ignored by burying them under our individual-centered concerns. This book is full of urgently needed insights into Scripture and our ways of reading it.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--Daniel Patte, Vanderbilt University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eK.
