GoodBookStall Review:
With China very much in the news these days this was a very interesting read, if at times rather confusing. David Burnett travels through China's history, exploring how religious ideas and practices have developed and changed over time. The chapters on China's history in the last hundred years were particularly helpful, showing how the various influences of events and culture have affected Chinese peoples' expressions of religious faith. Reading this book reminds us how different the Chinese people are from Westerners and this reader occasionally became confused by the similar sounding names and words but overall this was a very informative and well-written book.
