Synopsis

This groundbreaking book surveys the entire history of popular religious sects in Chinese history. "Publish this Book!" is the unequivocal recommendation taken from the peer reviews.
In part one the reader will find a thorough treatment of the formation of the notions of orthodoxy and heterodoxy in the contexts of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism.
Chronologically organized, the work continues to deal with each new religious movement; its teachings, scriptures, social organisation, and political significance.
The discussions on the patterns laid bare and on the dynamics of popular religious movements in Chinese society, make this book indispensable for all those who wish to gain a true understanding of the mechanics of Popular religious movements in historical and contemporary China.
