Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Reichelt was known in missionary circles as the West's greatest interpreter of Chinese Buddhism. For years Buddhist priests lived with him in the Mission at Tao Feng Shan, Hong Kong where he got to know them intimately. The author's study is based on his extensive experience and depth of knowledge of Buddhism. He also extends his scope to include Confucianism, Taoism and Chinese Islam as well as the indigenous religions of animism and ancestor worship. Dr. Reichelt meditated deeply on the prologue to the Fourth Gospel and was a firm believer in the conception of the Logos Spermatikos. Hence his sympathetic, though critical treatment of these religions which even to this day are still relatively unknown in the West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes a new methodology for studying the symbolic and practical aspects of religious dress in fifth-to ninth-century mediaeval China: how ritual dress reflected the religious ideas of the three major traditions in mediaeval China -Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism -and how the interaction between them and the evolution of their new forms of dress resulted in their changed worldviews. I argue that dress was more than a material phenomenon and may have been used to negotiate socio-political power and religious boundaries. An analysis was undertaken, using texts and artifacts as sources. I examined how the state used and developed each tradition so that each was transformed, interacting across sacred, secular, geographical and cultural boundaries. Analysis of dress as a strategy for undermining authority and hegemony revealed implications for the ideology of state-religion relations. I examined the hybridity and cultural brokering influencing interactions between religions and investigated the factors influencing those interactions. Cultural practices in the religious dress of mediaeval China were not coterminous with sectoral or social divisions: both heterogeneity within groups and commonality in dress practices existed across the three great Chinese religions. Boundaries between the religions were blurred, and the intermingling of designs, colours and styles of formal dress reflected the exchanges, parallels, and contradictions of the worldviews which accompanied the formation and evolution of mediaeval religious systems. Relationships between the three religions saw a cross-boundary transmission process -the changes in religious relations appear between internal and external boundaries, illustrating a complex interplay between the agency of ideology and cultural norms in religious dress. I maintain that Chinese religious dress was both a burdensome constraint and a practical source of agentive autonomy. Chinese ritual dress of the period was not an 'autonomous' influence, set apart from other religious dress traditions, but was influenced by factors including political agendas, ecology and local culture. The changed worldview of Chinese religions resulted in the diversification of Chinese religious dress and its assumption of a broader socio-political character. I demonstrate that rather than being purely a representation of religious ideology, mediaeval Chinese religious dress became a blend of spiritual and political influences and thereby an expression of secular trends.

Download or read book China and the Middle East written by Muhamad Olimat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manuscript examines relations between China and the Middle East in historical context. It highlights some of the most important events that characterize the ties between China and the Middle East, and examines their relationship in key areas that include energy, trade, arms sales, culture and politics. The centre of China's relations with Israel is arms sales and advanced technology, while the core of Sino-Saudi relations is oil. Iran and China are tied with deep historical, civilizational, cultural and political relations, but China's current interests in Iran centre on oil. Relations between China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) centre on trade. The UAE serve as a primary hub for Chinese business corporations not only in the Gulf or the wider Middle East, but also in Africa and the world. China's relations with Algeria have been based on political co-ordination since the early days of the Algerian War of Independence and the early days of the People's Republic of China. China provided Algeria with political, diplomatic and military support to accomplish its national liberation from France. Since then, their partnership has developed. Finally, the book develops a tridimensional approach in which China's ties with Middle Eastern countries are viewed as an outcome of interaction between three actors in each situation. The book reaches the conclusion that China's national interests in the Middle East are only increasing, and it is anticipated that Sino-Middle Eastern relations and strategic partnerships will be enhanced in the near future, provided that China is not perceived as undermining the Arab Spring. Key Features Offers an in-depth analysis of Chinese-Middle Eastern relations Assists students and scholars in understanding the uniqueness of the Chinese model of engagement in the Middle East Explains why most Middle Easterners prefer China's engagement to Western engagement Explores the future of Sino-Middle Eastern relations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In non-Western contexts, Christianity has often been viewed as the religion of foreigners with a hidden political agenda. Sharing the gospel in non-imperialistic ways can be challenging, particularly in Asia. Every location to which God calls his messengers has its own rich history that should be shared with gospel workers and local people. Those desiring to serve interculturally must learn as much as possible about the past before joining that history. Are we learning from the past, or are we simply repeating the same mistakes in our own times and places? No culture in the world is a blank slate; rather, we can look for the initiating, inviting work of the missio Dei already emerging from within every surprising source. This book showcases the writings of sixteen reflective practitioners who offer insights based on their study and experience of history. These women and men come from a wide variety of cultural and theological backgrounds. Their stories include: An American who brought Protestant Buddhism to Sri Lanka A Norwegian Lutheran who started a Christian monastic community in Hong Kong A local scholar who led a faith movement in China that nearly overthrew the government A Thai villager who became an evangelist and a silent-film star Highlighting key people and places, Emerging Faith surveys several Christian movements found in the mission history of Asia. If you wish to challenge your thinking and respond to God’s invitation to participate in the global context, look here for encouragement and guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crucial themes and issues explored by a premier missiologist Johan Herman Bavinck (1895-1964) was a prominent twentieth-century Dutch Calvinist missiologist who wrestled with the tension between religious absolutism and relativism, as many Christians do in today's pluralistic context. The J. H. Bavinck Reader gathers together a choice selection of Bavinck's significant writings that are essential for understanding his theology of missions, his approach to world religions, and his religious psychology. His treatment of religious consciousness and Christian faith expands on the brief treatment of it in his own work The Church Between Temple and Mosque. The concluding chapters show how Bavinck's theoretical reflection on religious consciousness was rooted in his close observation during his years as a missionary in Indonesia. Offering a constructive way forward, Bavinck affirms both the particularity of salvation in Christ and the universality of the Christian hope. A substantial introduction enhances the book with the most thorough biographical sketch of Bavinck available.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume collects the published articles of Dr. Marjorie Topley, who was a pioneer in the field of social anthropology in the postwar period and also the first president of the revived Hong Kong Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. Her ethnographic research in Singapore and Hong Kong set a high standard for urban anthropology, and helped creating the fields of religious studies, migration studies, gender studies, and medical anthropology, focusing on topics that remain current and important in the disciplines. The essays in this collection showcase Dr. Topley's groundbreaking contributions in several areas of scholarship. These include “Chinese Women’s Vegetarian Houses in Singapore” (1954) and “The Great Way of Former Heaven: A Group of Chinese Secret Religious Sects” (1963), both important research on the study of subcultural groups in a complex urban society; “Marriage Resistance in Rural Kwangtung” (1978), now a classic in Chinese anthropology and women’s studies; her widely known and cited article, “Cosmic Antagonisms: A Mother-Child Syndrome” (1974), which investigates widely shared everyday practices and cosmological explanations that Cantonese mothers invoked when they encountered difficulties in child-rearing; and “Capital, Saving and Credit among Indigenous Rice Farmers and Immigrant Vegetable Farmers in Hong Kong's New Territories” (2004 [1964]).
