China's environmental challenges

Chinese cinema and religion. Joy Kooi-Chin Tong (Chapter 11) examines how religious ethics of Christian overseas Chinese entrepreneurs affects their moral decisions and business practices in China. Gustav K. K. Yeung (Chapter 16) deals with similar issues in examining how a Hong Kong upstairs church negotiates boundaries with the commercial market in producing sacred space. Overall, this edited volume is a very informative and timely contribution to the study of contemporary Chinese Christianities. It coversmajor geographic areas (including urban–rural differences) and its material ranges from second-hand and survey data to structured interviews and ethnographic data. The academic and religious backgrounds of the contributors are diverse enough to provide a balanced view. From these essays, the reader does get a sense of “enchantedmodernity” asdescribedbyMadsen in thefirst chapter.Anyonewho is interested in religious diversity in China, the state–religion relationship, and the development of Chinese Christianity will find the volume helpful. If I have one minor complaint, it is that there is no clear internal connection to the chapters within each part of the book. The biggest contribution of the chapters lies in the original materials they present, rather than in their conclusions; these materials are indeed valuable for students of Chinese Christianities.
