Famous writer Shi Tiesheng: Honesty is the starting point for viewing everything, followed by necessity is rationality. This applies to writing, just as it applies to reading.

President of Kyosei Corporation and Chairman of the General Federation of Joint Enterprises, Fujiwara Akira: This book will be a refreshing read in China and equally inspiring in Japan. The Puritan Revolution founded by Cromwell has a profound and lasting influence, still affecting the world today through the United States. The author explains this complex historical and cultural background, as well as the related sociological theories, in a clear and accessible manner. Especially the understanding of the U.S. economy reflects objective reality, and the analysis of the alienation of capitalism is excellent. This is a work with a unique perspective in both observation and thinking; a book that will benefit all readers who are concerned about China's future, the essence of the United States, sociology, political science, international relations, theology, and the human spirit. It is a work based on the realities of American society, explaining the objective influence of Christianity on U.S. politics, economy, and foreign policy from the perspective of American history, providing an exquisite analysis of the essence of the United States, and then offering a comprehensive and profound critique of the founding and foreign policy spirit of the United States, ultimately arriving at conclusions that differ from prevailing opinions. It reveals predictions by some foreign scholars on U.S.-China relations and development from the perspective of religious influence, as well as the diplomatic approach China should adopt in dealing with the United States.
