Chinese Language and Civilization 

Visit my new website: www.wescecil.com A lecture by Wesley Cecil PhD delivered at Peninsula College. I explore the incredible history of Chinese civilization and language and the current cultural challenges in China.
Two Notes: I referred to the age of Old Testament texts early in the lecture - I meant New Testament texts. The earliest NT texts date from around 200 AD most are later.
The Tale of the Marshes or Water Margins was set in the Song Dynasty.
This is what happens when you have so many dates and names and you lecture without notes.
