{"product_id":"religious-diversity-and-public-religion-zhibin-xie-9780754656487","title":"Religious Diversity and Public Religion in China","description":"This book addresses the issue of public religion and its implications in Chinese society. Zhibin Xie explores various normative considerations concerning the appropriate role of religion in public political life in a democratic culture. Besides drawing on the theoretical discourse on religion in the public sphere from Western academics, it holds that the issue of religion in Chinese politics should be addressed by paying attention to characteristics of religious diversity and its political context in China. This leads to a position of \"liberal-constrained public religion\" in China, which encourages religious contribution to the public sphere as a substantial component of religious liberty in China on the one hand and proposes some constraints both upon government and religions for regulating religious political discourse on the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zhibin Xie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754656489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754656487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 16","brand":"Zhibin Xie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136155693311,"sku":"9780754656487","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9744e66d-9950-46d7-b2a9-d983eb0e0150.jpg?v=1770160882","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religious-diversity-and-public-religion-zhibin-xie-9780754656487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
