The results are insightful and valuable on many levels.--DAVID OWNBY, Professor of History, University of Montreal This is by far the most original, innovative, and definitive study of the religious transformation in the context of China's modernization from the late Qing to early Republican period. Drawing on new and underexplored primary sources such as religious journals, seance writings, morality books, and liturgical texts, the authors show convincingly how active production of religious knowledge, new and creative forms of religiosity, structural and institutional innovation of religion were taking place alongside the processes of modernization in the Jiangnan region from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. As such, this book has greatly advanced our understanding of trajectories of religious transformation and modes of religious modernity in China.--XUN LIU, Department of History, Rutgers University Goossaert and Katz have crafted a unique and innovative research strategy, applying a macro approach--looking at a broad range of data relating to a large number of religious phenomena--to a specific micro-region--Jiangnan.
