Based partly on unpublished documents and oral information obtained from monks who headed major monasteries on mainland China, Holmes Welch presents a detailed description of the modern practice of Chinese Buddhism. Focusing on the actual rather than the theoretical observances of the religion, he gives an exhaustive account of the monastic system and the style of life of both monk and layman. His study makes new information available for the Western reader and calls into question the whole concept of the moribund state of Chinese Buddhism.

A Voluntary Exile: Chinese Christianity and Cultural Confluence since 1552
ISBN: 9781611461480 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Western missionaries in China were challenged by something they could not have encountered in their native culture; most Westerners were Christian, and competitions in their own countries were principally denominational.

A Voluntary Exile explores the convergence of cultures. This collection of new and insightful research considers themes of religious encounter and...

These two projects...

Rooted in the Scripture and following this ancient understanding, Lifted by... Explores the relationship between people and angels, through the eyes of the early church.
