Religion in the Late-Modern World
by Lizhu Fan, James D. Whitehead, and Evelyn Eaton Whitehead

Religion in the Late-Modern World makes a unique contribution to the academic study of religion. Its chapers-available here in both Chinese and English-provide valuable cross-cultural perspective on the interplay among religion, religiousness and modernity in both Chinese and Western Culture. The three authors represent a broad range of academic disciplines-sociology, philosopy, social psychology, history of religions-crucial to a comprehensive understanding of religion: their collaboration has produced an integrated inter-disciplinary text.

"It is a masterly summary of modern theory of religion. I like the way it makes its points subtle.
It is a subtle indication of religion based on the best recent work.
It will have a good and positive influence in China."

Paul Rule, Ph.D., La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia
