O knihe
""China's Catholics is both highly informative and a pleasure to read. Madsen's supple prose acts as a zoom lens: at one moment it places us in the center of daily Chinese life, hearing the sounds and smelling the scents; in the next it pulls us smoothly back, into the sophisticated discussion of social structure, theological controversy, or the prospects for 'civil society' in China. Madsen's own civility and generous spirit pervade this book."--Perry Link, Princeton University
"In this stunning exploration of the varieties of religious faith in contemporary China, Richard Madsen examines the Catholic Church's emergence from decades of religious persecution to a conflict-ridden revitalization amid the rampant consumerism of a surging market economy. Rich with personal observation and scrupulously researched, this masterful account of repression and survival offers compelling insights into the social, moral and spiritual tensions that underlie China's material prosperity in the 1990s."--Carolyn Wakeman, University of Californbia, Berkeley
