Lin's God of Chinese Mountains

Bill Brown ... Xiamen University
Hi!
This "Noodle", Lin's God of Chinese Mountains, is taking a lot longer than I thought (two days so far). It will be about my favorite modern Chinese philosopher, Lin Yutang, and why he turned away from God, and how his subsequent study of Chinese classics, and modern Western philosophy and science, led him back to God, and to Christ. Lin's clarity of perception, his logic, and his writing style (what Chinese philosopher would draw a Chinese Mickey Mouse in his book?!) remind me somewhat of C.S. Lewis--except that Lin had the advantage of being thoroughly grounded in both Eastern and Western thought.

I hope to post this in the next day or so. In the meantime, please click here for a brief Lin Yutang biography.
