具体描述
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.

##见证历史，记录历史，等待某日的反思与审判。
评分##之前条目又被删了，补标。作者对国内的宗教状况明显过于乐观。
评分##chapter1&2
评分##chapter1&2
评分##不说立场的问题，民俗志方面的内容很有趣，但是作者对招摇撞骗的神棍是过于同情了。
评分##二十四节气贯穿全书，帮助我记顺序了~ps.如今盛世，来之不易
评分##虽然作者想从几个典型老百姓家庭的角度来阐述全文的主题，但是更多内容还是适合英文世界的读者。中文读者看到很多内容并没有觉得惊奇。只是看到文末结尾处致谢人名单里一位前同事的名字，她一直混迹海外驻华记者圈，想来也是不足为奇。
评分遗憾没有提到天主教和东正教的曲折发展
