Religion in contemporary China. [Elektronisk resurs] : revitalization and innovation / edited by Adam Yuet Chau.

• Introduction: Revitalizing and innovating religious traditions in contemporary China; 2 Buddhism in the reform era: A secularized revival?; 3 Morality books and the regrowth of lay Buddhism in China; 4 From ritual skills to discursive knowledge: Changing styles of Daoist transmission in Shanghai; 5 Networks and the "cloudlike wandering" of Daoist monks in China today; 6 Temples as enterprises; 7 Revival in crisis: Amateur ritual associations in Hebei.

• Before the modernist transformations of the twentieth century, China had one of the richest and most diverse religious cultures in the world. This book shows that economic reforms and the concurrent relaxation of religious policies have provided fertile ground for the revitalization of a wide array of religious practices.
