Religions of China: The World As a Living System
Daniel L. Overmyer

Waveland Press, 1998

The guiding themes of Chinese religion as it is actually lived! This short work explains basic ideas and practices of Chinese religions in direct and simple language, with many examples and analogies for increased understanding.

Excellent introduction
I'm not a scholar in this field, but I've recently started a project of studying about religion in China, especially in Chinese history.

All kinds of religions are introduced briefly--Taoism, Catholicism, the House Church movement, Buddhism, ...

Absolute Delusion, Perfect Buddhahood: the Rise and Fall of a Chinese Heresy.(Book Review): An article from: ...

1 review
Daniel L. Overmyer

University of British Columbia, 2003

Relative delusion, surely!
This E-book is hardly worth reviewing at length, because its theme is based upon scholarly prejudice, rather than scriptural, doctrinal or historical fact. No bona fide Chinese (or Japanese) Buddhist I know of, past or present, has taught a doctrine of 'absolute delusion.' In Buddhist terms, it is an oxymoron. This ridiculous notion - 'a Chinese heresy' - as Overmeyer calls it, is based upon the ...
