This book examines the place of religion in the development of Manchuria from the late nineteenth century to the collapse of the Japanese Empire in 1945. Religion was at the forefront in this period of intense competition, not just between armies but also among different models of legal, commercial, social and spiritual development, each of which imagining a very specific role for religion in the new society. Debates over religion in Manchuria extended far beyond the region, and shaped the personality of religion that we see today. This book is an ambitious contribution to the field of Asian history and to the understanding of the global meaning and practice of the role of religion. 606 $aChurch and state$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aChristianity and politics$zChina$zManchuria$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aManchuria (China)$xChurch history$y20th century 615 0$aChurch and state$xHistory 615 0$aChristianity and politics$xHistory 676 $a200.951/809041 700 $aDuBois$b Thomas David$f1969-$0921554 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910159459003321 996 $aEmpire and the meaning of religion in Northeast Asia$92581479 997 $aUNINA
