Manchuria entered the twentieth century as a neglected backwater of
the dying Qing dynasty, and within a few short years became the
focus of intense international rivalry to control its resources and
shape its people. This book examines the place of religion in the
development of Manchuria from the late nineteenth century to the
collapse of the Japanese Empire in 1945. Religion was at the
forefront in this period of intense competition, not just between
armies but also among different models of legal, commercial, social
and spiritual development, each of which imagining a very specific
role for religion in the new society. Debates over religion in
Manchuria extended far beyond the region, and shaped the
personality of religion that we see today. This book is an
ambitious contribution to the field of Asian history and to the
understanding of the global meaning and practice of the role of
religion.
