Reviews

"""After more than four decades of research, Tan proves to be the most eminent scholar in the field, very well equipped to provide his readers with thorough insights into the fundamental characteristics of Chinese popular religion. The benefits of a long-term perspective are apparent, both in specific areas such as the development of Daoism in Malaysia and in a more general sense, showing how the dynamics of Chinese related religions influence and contribute to the broader context of Malaysian identity-building."" – Gabriella Voss, University of Vienna, in Religious Studies, 46.2 (2020)."
