Book excerpt: The speed and the scale with which traditional religions in China have been revived and new spiritual movements have emerged in recent decades make it difficult for scholars to stay up-to-date on the religious transformations within Chinese society.

The atlas also outlines the contours of Confucianism, folk religion, and the Mao cult. Further, it describes the main organizations, beliefs, and rituals of China’s main religions, as well as the social and demographic characteristics of their respective believers. Putting multiple religions side by side in their contexts, this atlas deploys the latest qualitative, quantitative and spatial data acquired from censuses, surveys, and fieldwork to offer a definitive overview of religion in contemporary China. An essential resource for all scholars and students of religion and society in China.

Download or read book The Soul of Atlas written by Mark David Henderson and published by Reason Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soul of Atlas: Ayn Rand, Christianity, A Quest for Common Ground by Mark Henderson (Reason Publishing) is a very engaging, autobiographical account of the author's experience growing up as a son/stepson, caught between the two world views of his father and stepfather-devout Christian and committed follower of Ayn Rand, respectively. Henderson examines the underlying principles of Christianity and Objectivism, challenging readers to approach the seemingly contradictory world views with a fresh perspective and an open mind. The Soul of Atlas leads the reader through a powerful dialogue between two worlds, addressing such topics as Capitalism, Selfishness, Power, and even Joy. Henderson challenges readers to uncover the commonalities between these world views. What they will discover, as Henderson himself discovered, is that reason cannot rule out the need for faith, nor faith the need for reason. Indeed, we need both. "Something about these two domains of thought...is deeply compelling to many Americans," Henderson writes in the introduction to The Soul of Atlas. "Given that fact, one would imagine that there are shelves of books comparing and contrasting these ideologies. In fact, there are not. To date, the Conversation between Objectivism and Christianity has not played out. There is common ground to stand on, though, and people who adhere to either one of these two world views need to engage with each other and cooperate. It's vital today more than ever."
