This paper is an inquiry into the mystical concept of conscience in St.Paul and Wang Yang-ming. It aims at finding a link between Confucianism and Christianity and is approached from the point of view of mysticism. The thesis consists of two parts: (1) St. Paul: conscience as the voice of God;ω Wang Yang-ming : the illumination of conscience. In order to understand St.Pauls view of conscience it is traced to three points of origin: the concept of conscience in the Hellenic, Roman, and old Testments's periods. The concept of conscience in Wang Yang-ming is considered in three aspects, namely, the embodiment of conscience, the contemplation of conscience and the union of conscience and the cosmos. Finally I come to the following conclusion: the concept conscience in StPaul and Wang Yang-ming bridge the gap between Confucianism and Christianity.
