Introduces the many strands of Confucianism in a style accessible to students and general readers.
Chinese Religion
A new introduction To The field of Chinese religion and culture ideally suited to undergraduate students.
Confucianism and Christianity

The Encyclopedia of Confucianism
The Encyclopedia, the first of its kind, introduces Confucianism as a whole, with 1,235 entries giving full information on its history, doctrines, schools, rituals, sacred places and terminology, and on the adaptation, transformation and new thinking taking place in China and other Eastern Asian countries. An indispensable source for further study and research for students and scholars.
Religious Experience in Contemporary China
This fascinating and timely volume analyzes data from a four-year study of the religious experience in contemporary China--the results of which will radically transform the understanding of the role religion plays in twenty-first-century Chinese culture. Focused on the Han Chinese, who make up more than ninety percent of mainland China's population, Religious Experience in Contemporary China considers that groundbreaking research in an almost wholly new context: though the suppression of religion by communist authorities in the latter part of the twentieth century is well documented, much less is known about the underlying resurgence of religious life within the world's most populous nation. Until recently, such research would not have been permitted, and the fascinating results presented here make Religious Experience in Contemporary China an essential addition to the increasing amounts of publications on China in the new age.
Confucian Studies
While having substantially declined in political and social influence, Confucianism was revived by leading intellectuals (so-called Modern New Confucians) in the twentieth century to deal with perennial problems facing modern people and society. It is against this background that Confucian Studies has become an increasingly important subject taught in universities and colleges in North America, Europe, East Asia, and Australia. With more and more universities and colleges offering courses on or relating to Confucian philosophy, ethics, religion, and politics, this new collection from Routledge answers the urgent need for a source book in contemporary Confucian Studies.
Religion in Contemporary China
This new 4 volume collection is an authoritative anthology containing the best scholarship on aspects of religion in contemporary China. The articles will focus on religious beliefs, practices and organisations as well as on the interactive relations between religion and other dimensions of communal, social, political and economic life in Mainland China and overseas Chinese communities.
The Cambridge Companion to Religious Experience
Offers a state-of-the-art contribution by providing critical analyses of and creative insights to the nature of religious experience.
RoutledgeCurzon Encyclopedia of Confucianism

Written by an international team of specialists, it provides extensive textual cross-references, bibliographies, and three comprehensive indexes.
'Justification by Grace Alone' Facing Confucian Self-Cultivation
Chinese contexts as influenced by the religious moral philosophy of New Confucianism are characterized by the idea of becoming a sage through self-cultivation. For Christian theology – with its emphasis on God’s grace rather than on self-cultivation – Confucian teaching in this matter may appear as a problem. Chinese Christian theology may ask: How can the Christian doctrine of justification by grace alone be contextualized in Chinese contexts which are characterized by the contradicting idea of self-cultivation? Another question may be equally interesting for Christian theology in all contexts: Which insights can be attained from an attempt at contextualizing the Christian doctrine of justification to contexts influenced by New Confucianism? In this book professor Arne Redse contributes to answering these questions.
