Features: This book reviews the progress made in certain fields of religious studies in China through a series of special articles and research overviews. It provides a general outline of the status of several important branch disciplines in 2001 and 2002, and includes references and materials from those years. The research overviews are divided into sections such as the theory of religious studies and the current state of religion, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, and Confucian studies. The situation and needs of China and the world have posed increasingly more topics for our religious studies work. Whether it is basic research or applied research, it is necessary to continuously broaden our horizons and delve deeper. Becoming complacent in the face of existing achievements or blaming the heavens for temporary setbacks will hinder our progress, ultimately making us unable to meet the demands of the times.
