Paradise has been widely perceived as somewhere on ocean islands or in distant mountains where people come together to set up tightly-knit societies so they can live, work and worship in harmony and peace. For the first-time ever, in this widely-researched work that bridges the utopian ideas and visions of East and West, Ambrose Mong explores the writings of influential thinkers from ancient China to Renaissance Europe and today, including Thomas More, Teilhard de Chardin, Confucius and Mo Tzu, and even twentieth century political reformist Kang Youwei.
Ambrose Mong, PhD, is assistant parish priest at St Andrew's Church, Hong Kong and part-time lecturer and research associate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His recent publications with James Clarke & Co., include: Accommodation and Acceptance: An Exploration of Interfaith Relations (2015), Guns and Gospel: Imperialism and Evangelism in China (2016) and A Tale of Two Theologians: Treatment of Third World Theologies (2017)
