Religion and Society in Asia
Content:
After the Communist victory in China's civil war, Taiwan-then governed by the KMT (or Nationalist Party)-became a focal point for both Buddhist and Christian activity in the Chinese world. Between the mid-1950s and 1970s, Buddhists responded to subsequent Christian growth on the island. This occurred against a backdrop of intense Christian proselytization, and Buddhist concern for the future viability of their tradition. [-][-]Focusing on some of the most influential monastics of the time, this is the first study to provide in-depth coverage of Chinese Buddhist-Christian engagement after 1949. Drawing on Buddhist and Christian publications, it shows that interfaith competition, and political context, are important in shaping religious identity, and driving the religious engagement with modernity. This book will be of interest to historians of Buddhism, Chinese religion and Taiwanese society, and to those with an interest in interfaith dialogue more generally.[-]
