Hope represents a universal quest of the human race. It is a concern for and speculation of one's own future. The emergence of any form of religions was closely related to that human quest. This book is the fruit of an outstanding group of Asian and Western scholars' studies on the notion of “hope” in Chinese religions, namely Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, as well as in Christianity. It aims at setting a platform for the dialogue between Chinese and Western religions, and widening the reader's horizon to understand the human quest of hope from different historical and cultural perspectives.
