Excerpt from The Nanking Monument of the Beatitudes Dr. Johnson furnished the following definition in his "Dictionary of the English Language": - "Lexicographer: A harmless drudge, that busies himself in tracing tho original, and detailing the signification of words." And in similar vein, John Howard, the Philanthropist, compares himself to the plodder who goes about "to collect materials for men of genius to make use of." If, in a very small measure, the preparation of the following pages has enabled me to share in these experiences, I can only say that it has been delectable drudgery and pleasant plodding, while, with a keen sense of their imperfections, I have requested the binder to supplement them with some blank leaves, in the hope that "men of genius" will not be failing to amplify and, if needful, to revise their deductions. I should thankfully receive such comments, if communicated. My thanks are specially due to the Rev. James Thomas, Metropolitan Secretary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, for obtaining for me the generous sanction of the Governors for the photographic reproduction of the Nanking Tablet inscription; also to Professor Parker, of the Victoria University, Manchester; Rev. A. N. Johnson, Home Secretary of the London Missionary Society; Mr. H. F. Pan, of Peking; Mr. H. Aldridge, of the British Museum Library, and others, some of whom are mentioned by name in the text, for their kind and willing assistance.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Beatitudes are among the most influential teachings in human history. For two millennia, they have appeared in poetry and politics, and in the thought of mystics and activists, as Christians and others have reflected on their meaning and shaped their lives according to the Beatitudes’ wisdom. But what does it mean to be hungry, or meek, or pure in heart? Is poverty a material condition or a spiritual one? And what does being blessed entail? In this book, Rebekah Eklund explores how the Beatitudes have affected readers across differing eras and contexts. From Matthew and Luke in the first century, to Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham in the twentieth, Eklund considers how men and women have understood and applied the Beatitudes to their own lives through the ages. Reading in the company of past readers helps us see how rich and multifaceted the Beatitudes truly are, illuminating what they might mean for us today.
