What They're Saying
Critics Review
“It would be hard to find a fresh approach to a text that ranks only behind the Bible as the most widely translated book in the world, but Star achieves that goal. As fascinating to the casual scholar as it is for the serious student.”“Jonathan Star’s “Tao Te Ching achieves the essential: It clarifies the meaning of the text without in the slightest reducing its mystery. This superb work enables readers to search for their own understanding of the “Tao Te Ching, under the guiding hand of Star’s admirable scholarship.”
