Summary:  "The Souls of China tells the story of one of the world's great spiritual revivals. Following a century of violent anti-religious campaigns, China is now filled with new temples, churches, and mosques, as well as cults, sects, and politicians trying to harness religion for their own ends. Driving this explosion of faith is uncertainty, over what it means to be Chinese and how to live an ethical life in a country that discarded traditional morality a century ago and is searching for new guideposts." --Provided by publisher.
