「該書深入探討人存在的意義、人應該如何生活,進而追問兩者的關係。這是自文明誕生以來一直困擾眾生靈魂的心靈期盼……這是一部仔細研究而後成的學術著作,以其獨特的導遊方式向讀者一一介紹從古代到現在的文明景觀。」——陳劍光牧師,哲學博士、宗座神學博士、太平紳士
「正如《人的應當》所強調的,一定要給神的啟示留下位置。畢竟這個世界,包括人類本身,都是造物主創造的。所謂人的應當,說到底,是作為受造物的人類對造物主呼召的正確回應,從而找到人的應當。」——陳浩武,文化學者、經濟學博士
「This is a book with broad scope and profound meditation that invites all well-cultivated minds to think deeper in this morally fragmented and confused and technologically colonialized age. Apart from Christianity, where can we find a resting place for our soul and a foundation for societal living? Where can we find both liberal democracy and decency, market economy and self-discipline, and justice and love? And where can we find the ally of the good, and the true, and the beautiful?」——吳一介牧師,基督教會
「Philanthropist Daofeng He takes us on a vast 3000 year journey through Eastern and Western history, philosophy, and religion. The Human Calling is an extremely informative and insightful overview that stems from his personal biographical narrative combined with and supported by a breadth of academic research in both Asian and Western intellectual thought.」——Ronald T. Michener,Professor, Belgium
「There is an enormous amount to digest in The Human Calling and every reader will have his or her own takeaway. Two ideas resonated with me. The first is that we make a fundamental mistake to see science and faith as entirely separate matters. To seek to understand the universe is to worship its Creator. God is as much to be found in quarks and muons as in scripture. Second, the technology derived from science is a double-edged sword. “Human ability” if not tempered by “human calling” will be our downfall.」——Simon Barber
