Confucius, Erasmus and Moses: the great teachers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523201907)

The one name that looms large above any other name in China is Confucius. Erasmus stood at a pivotal point, and some say he was the intellectual pivot of the Renaissance. No thinker of his time influenced the world more. Moses was the world's first great teacher. He is still one of the world's great teachers. Seven million people yet look to his laws for special daily guidance, and more than two hundred millions read his books and regard them as Holy Writ. "The highest study of all is that which teaches us to develop those principles of purity and perfect virtue which Heaven bestowed upon us at our birth, in order that we may acquire the power of influencing for good those amongst whom we are placed, by our precepts and example; a study without an end--for our labours cease only when we have become perfect--an unattainable goal, but one that we must not the less set before us from the very first."
