5.0 out of 5 stars Tao-Teh King by C Spurgeon Medhurst, September 13, 2008

This review is from: The Tao Teh King: A Short Study In Comparative Religion (Paperback)

Although there are hundreds of English translations of the Tao-Teh King, there is none that comes close to this 1905 translation by C Spurgeon Medhurst. In fact of all the religious books in print today none provides a better introduction plus so much more to the study of truth, who we are, why we are here and where our journey will take us. A very special addition to the superb translation of the Tao by C Spurgeon Medhurst are his nearly perfect footnotes from religious scriptures including the bible, philosophers, poets, others, that explain every passage of the Tao in a way that make them far easier to relate to and understand. If for some strange reason I were allowed to have only one book to read for the rest of my life I would select this translation of the Tao-Teh King; if two, I would add the Gospel of Thomas.
