The "Robin Hood" Tao

A Christian Reads the Tao te Ching

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
