A Christian Reads the Tao te Ching
Join me in an unusual but deeply fulfilling journey as I work my way through the Tao te Ching, that ancient Chinese book of wisdom and spirituality that didn't draw me away from a Christ-centered faith, but actually helped me hold onto it.
A Christian Reads the Tao te Ching
The "Robin Hood" Tao

Episode 63
Chapter 77 describes the Tao as being like the drawing of a bow, where the top is brought down and the bottom is brought up. It is a cultural critique about how the way of man tends to upset the natural balance of things. The episode will have three general thematic movements:
1. Equilibrium and balance in the universe and in our lives
2. The "Robin Hood effect" - taking from the rich and giving to the poor
3. Lao Tzu's static equilibrium versus Christ's redemptive restoration
