Description: Buddhist Responses to Christianity in Postwar Taiwan : Awakening the World, Hardcover by Pacey, Scott, ISBN 9463724117, ISBN-13 9789463724111, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 1. This is the first study to examine the dialogue that unfolded among some of Taiwans most prominent Buddhist and Christian writers in the postwar era. 2. The study is a microhistory, focusing on a small circle of writers as a way of arriving at broader historical and theoretical conclusions. 3. It draws on original texts in Chinese, as well as key Buddhist and Christian periodicals, as a way of contextualizing the debate. After the Communist victory in Chinas civil war, Taiwan, then governed by the KMT (or Nationalist Party), became a focal point for both Buddhist and Christian activity in the Chinese world. Focusing on some of the most influential monastics of the time, this study considers Buddhist responses to Christianity during its subsequent period of growth on the island. Drawing on Buddhist and Christian publications, it shows that interfaith competition, and political context, are important in shaping religious identity and driving the religious engagement with modernity. Buddhist Responses to Christianity in Postwar Taiwan: Awakening the World will be of interest to historians of Buddhism, Chinese religion and Taiwanese society, and to those with an interest in interfaith dialogue more generally.
