In CHRISTIANITY AND CHINESE RELIGIONS, Dr. Julia Ching, Shanghai~born scholar and professor of religious studies at the University of Toronto, presents these Chinese religions in all their complexity, followed by an analysis from a Christian perspective by Dr. Kung. For centuries, Western interpreters of the Chinese have argued that they are not a religious people, citing their practical morality as evidence of a humanism without transcendence. In addition, the debilitating influence of Marxist ideology has contributed to the perception that in China religion is nonexistent. However, thorough historical evidence indicates a surviving religious folk culture incorporating age~old rituals with striking similarities to the ancient traditions of Judaism and Christianity. Today religion flourishes in China, with a new appreciation of the indigenous Confucian and Taoist doctrines, as well as those of Buddhism, a foreign religion successfully domesticated by the Chinese. In addition, Christianity, which has remained foreign but surprisingly appealing to a new generation raised on Communist ideology, is strong and growing. These eminent scholars trace the significance of religious traditions on the history of China and give compelling glimpses of the effect of Chinese spirituality on Western society. They open our eyes to a world that is not so separate and foreign as the West once imagined.…
