The book offers an in-depth analysis of the Communist Party's changing regulations regarding religion in China, highlighting the interactions between the state and various religious communities. It focuses on seven major faiths—Chinese Buddhism, Taoism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Islam, Tibetan Buddhism, and Falun Gong—representing 350 million adherents. By exploring both the controls imposed by the government and the responses from these diverse groups, the study sheds light on the complex dynamics of faith and governance in contemporary China.
