THe Jewish Journal Boston North (Sept 25, 2008) wrote: ... a very readable sometimes dizzying journey from Biblical times through Antiquity to Modernity."

The San Diego Jewish World (Dec 9, 2008) wrote: "His analysis of Chinese and Hebrew sources ["The Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions"] led him to a link between biblical wisdom literature and the Chinese Annals of the Way and Virtue, written between 604 and 531 BCE."

Dr. Alina Patru, wrote in Revista Teologica (1/2011):"Whether Weisz's research is compelling will require a review by a scholar whose knowledge of ancient Chinese classics and Middle Eastern sources and documents equals that of Tiberiu Weisz."

...Weisz's background, his fluency in Chinese and Hebrew as well as his college teaching of Hebrew History and Chinese Religion, provides him with a new and unique approach to the subject... For anyone interested in the Jews of Kaifeng, this [Kaifeng Stone Inscriptions] is a MUST..." http://www.myjewishbooks.com/asian.html
