The author wrote this book as a brief manual for the three main religions of the Chinese: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Temples, morality, notions of God, social behavior, and many other aspects are introduced here. Edkins also looks upon these religions in comparison to Christianity—with a missionary’s eye to possibilities of conversion.
