| Summary: | The title of this book conveys its ambitious goal. The term “religious question” is adopted to refer to the uneasy dynamics between religion and modernity in Chinese societies. It raises broad and large questions: How do religion and modern political–social framework of Chinese societies mutually adapt ever since the 1890s? Carrying this large question, Vincent Goossaert and David Palmer look at the transformation of the religious landscape from 1898 to 2008 and propose five religious questions., The first question is “how to scale back religion's domination of culture and society in order to free the human mind and carry forward the march of modernization” (401). |
