Identities, organizations and societies.The revival of religious belief and practice in China over the past thirty years, after decades of severe repression, has attracted much attention by scholars. Social scientific studies of religion by mainland Chinese scholars has also increased in recent years, using theories and methods developed mainly outside China. Increasingly, mainland scholars are also debating whether theories and concepts developed in western societies are fully appropriate for the study of religion in Chinese societies. This volume presents a selection of papers by sociologists, anthropologists, and historians of religion on these themes. The chapters include rich field studies of particular religions and religious activities, along with theoretical and historical reflections by scholars inside and outside China on problems and opportunities in the revival of the social scientific study of religion in Chinese societies.Religion in Chinese societies ;v. 1.Religion and sociologyChinaCongressesChinaReligionCongressesElectronic books.Religion and sociology200.71/051Yang Fenggang866663Lang Graeme998183Beijing Summit on Chinese Spirituality and Society(2008 :Peking University)Beijing Summit on Chinese Spirituality and Society(8-10 Oct. 2008 :Peking University)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461258103321Social scientific studies of religion in China2289602UNINA
