Religions of Beijing offers an intimate portrayal of lived religion
in 17 different religious communities in greater Beijing. Students
at Minzu University of China spent one year immersed in the routine
and practices daily, "writing with" the experiences and
perspectives of their practitioners. Each chapter has been
translated into English, with students at Drake University (Des
Moines, Iowa) facilitating this process. The result is a bi-lingual
book (Mandarin, English) that reveals to Chinese- and
English-speaking readers the vibrant diversity of lived religion in
contemporary Beijing. Each chapter focuses on the histories,
practices, spaces, and members of its community, telling the
overall story of the renewed flourishing of religion in Beijing.
The book is also enriched with over 100 photos that portray this
flourishing renewal, capturing the lived experience of ordinary
practitioners. Together, the words and photographs of Religions of
Beijing draw the reader into the stories and lives of these
communities and their members, providing a first-hand look at the
contemporary practice of religion in greater Beijing. The religions
covered are Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Protestantism,
Catholicism, Islam and folk religion. Religions of Beijing is a
collaboration of Minzu University of China and Drake University,
USA.
