Though a minority religion in Vietnam, Christianity has been a
significant presence in the country since its arrival in the
sixteenth-century. Anh Q. Tran offers the first English translation
of the recently discovered 1752 manuscript Tam Giao Ch(u V.ong (The
Errors of the Three Religions). Structured as a dialogue between a
Christian priest and a Confucian scholar, this anonymously authored
manuscript paints a rich picture of the three traditional
Vietnamese religions: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. The work
explains and evaluates several religious beliefs, customs, and
rituals of eighteenth-century Vietnam, many of which are still in
practice today. In addition, it contains a trove of information on
the challenges and struggles that Vietnamese Christian converts had
to face in following the new faith. Besides its great historical
value for studies in Vietnamese religion, language, and culture,
Gods, Heroes, and Ancestors raises complex issues concerning the
encounter between Christianity and other religions: Christian
missions, religious pluralism, and interreligious dialogue.
