Publisher's Summary:

"Religions of Ancient China" is a summary of the different spiritual beliefs in China. The audiobook has five chapters:

Excerpt from the book: The problem of the universe has never offered the slightest difficulty to Chinese philosophers. Before the beginning of all things, there was Nothing. In the lapse of ages Nothing coalesced into Unity, the Great Monad. After more ages, the Great Monad separated into Duality, the Male and Female Principles in nature; and then, by a process of biogenesis, the visible universe was produced. An addition, however, to this simple system had to be made, in deference to, and on a plane with, the intelligence of the masses. According to this, the Male and Female Principles were each subdivided into Greater and Lesser, and then from the interaction of these four agencies a being, named P'an Ku, came into existence.

Good summary

I was hoping for a little more detail on the religions. The first book in the series was on pantheism and was more in depth, still looking forward to reading more of the series though.

A study in review

The book provided some introductory information on differences between more commonly known religions. I was seeking information on how these beliefs got started, their origin prior to becoming the established, widely accepted 'religious practice.' Hence, this booklet is well suited for individuals who want to learn basic information about religion.
