An excellent introduction to the faiths of Chinese civilization, Religions of Ancient China surveys the earliest Chinese creation myths, the religious ventures of philosophers and emperors 5, 000 years ago, the “benevolent agnosticism” of Confucianism, the “doctrine of inaction” of Taoism, and the sophisticate metaphysics of Buddhism.
