About This paperback
China is an economic giant and an influential part of the current world order. What drives its leaders, and what values do they hold?
David Burnett answers this question by showing how Chinese religious ideas and practices have developed and changed over the millenia.
He explores the influences of Buddhism, Confucianism and the Jesuits; he looks at the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Manchus; he assesses the motivations behind Mao, Deng Xaio-Ping and the current communist and commercial regime.
Why is an atheistic leadership seeing a widespread religious revival, across several faiths? What is the future for the religions of China?
This is a timely book and is for all those fascinated by China, especially in context of the Beijing Olympics.
The author was Academic Dean of All Nations Christian College before taking up his current teaching post at a Chinese university. He is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute and experienced observer of world cultures, with major textbooks on Buddhism and Hinduism to his credit.
