Quanzhen Daoists in Chinese Society and Culture, 1500–2010 covers Quanzhen Daoism both as a historical phenomenon and a living religion. The contributors hope that the volume will serve as one of the first efforts in a Western language to advance and integrate the emerging field of Quanzhen Daoist studies with the larger field of modern Chinese studies.

JOURNAL REVIEWS |

“The volume reads like a lively and always precise introduction to the social and cultural role that religious figures and traditions played in late imperial and modern China. Quanzhen presence is shown to have been overwhelming. This is explained by Gossaert’s [sic] intriguing list of this group’s multiple identities….The volume is an essential contribution to the history of religion in China, on methodological grounds, documented in particular in the introduction, and because of its wealth of materials.” ~Barbara Hendrischke, University of Sydney, in Religious Studies Review 41, no. 3 (September 2015): 127. (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/rsr.12241_5/full) |

“This detailed work is aimed at specialists in the field but also at a wider intellectual audience interested in Chinese society as a whole and the complex religious landscape that in part defines it. It will doubtless become a precious manual for university students of religious studies and Chinese history….One major appeal of the work is that, through variations in approach, scale and perspective (historical, Sinological, sociological, and anthropological), it succeeds in demonstrating that Quanzhen has not been a homogeneous category in time or space.” ~Adeline Herrou, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Laboratoire d’Ethnologie et de Sociologie Comparative (France), in Daoism: Religion, History and Society, no. 8 (2016): 294–309 |
