China is an economic giant and influential part of the current world order. Yet many in the West, and particularly in the United States, do not know about the country's culture and history. What drives its leaders? What values do they hold? David Burnett answers these questions by illustrating how Chinese religious ideas and practices have developed and changed over the millennia. Only by understanding this broader picture can one come to understand the complex spiritual and religious situation of modern China.
