China is in the midst of one of the world’s great spiritual awakenings: some 300 million Chinese currently practice a faith, while tens of millions more follow personal gurus, populist masters and New Age sages. This astonishing revival began in 1982 when the Communist Party pledged to allow what it thought would be a small-scale practice of religion under government supervision. But the faithful have expanded far beyond the Party’s expectations: Today, China’s cities and villages are filled with new temples, churches, and mosques as well as cults, sects and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Fueling this resurgence is a popular desire to rediscover a moral compass in a society driven by naked capitalism.
For six years, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer Ian Johnson lived for extended periods with three religious communities: the underground Early Rain Protestant congregation in Chengdu, the Ni family’s Buddhist pilgrimage association in Beijing, and yinyang Daoist priests in rural Shanxi. Johnson distills these experiences into a cycle of festivals, births, deaths, detentions, and struggle that reveals the hearts and minds of the Chinese people—a great awakening of faith that is shaping the soul of the world’s newest superpower.
##不說立場的問題,民俗誌方麵的內容很有趣,但是作者對招搖撞騙的神棍是過於同情瞭。
評分##開頭結尾引的都是同一句尚書,而作者對宗教在中國文化裏的必需性和政治性的理解其實也都在這句話裏瞭,全書都非常像那一段,“人心驚疑,如居風濤,洶洶靡定,上自朝列,下達蒸黎,日夕放黨聚謀,鹹憂必有變故。” (確實是個好寫手,很細膩也懂遞進,說作者寫陝西李傢有點像劉震雲也是誇奬,當然全書最煽情自然是那一句,she doesn't need to participate, she's got faith!)

評分##雖然作者想從幾個典型老百姓傢庭的角度來闡述全文的主題,但是更多內容還是適閤英文世界的讀者。中文讀者看到很多內容並沒有覺得驚奇。隻是看到文末結尾處緻謝人名單裏一位前同事的名字,她一直混跡海外駐華記者圈,想來也是不足為奇。
評分遺憾沒有提到天主教和東正教的麯摺發展
