The Discovery of Genesis

C. H. Kang

This linguistic analysis of the Chinese language suggests the ancient Chinese were well aware of the God of Abraham. Readers will discover the possibility that the Chinese were a remnant of the Tower of Babel dispersion.


"The authors start with the observance of some astonishing points of correspondence between certain characters in the Chinese language and elements of the Genesis account of man's early beginnings. They go on to analyze dozens of the ideographic pictures that make up words in the Chinese language. The evidence they compile supports the thesis that the ancient picture writing of the Chinese language embodies memories of man's earliest days. The characters, when broken down into component parts, reflect elements of the story of God and man recorded in the early chapters of Genesis. Man and woman, the garden, the institution of marriage, the temptation and fall, death, Noah's flood, the tower of Babel-they are all there in the tiny drawings and strokes that make up the Chinese characters." (From the foreword by Paul Zimmerman)

Praise for this book

This concise book of a mere 142 pages reveals, through meticulous scholarship, the biblical story of Creation, the Fall, the Flood, Bable, and even the Redemption of the Lamb as told by the well preserved Chinese language; the formulization of which predates the writing of Genesis by at least a millennia! I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a deeper understanding of the book of Genesis. Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum!
