Reviews

'In the final analysis, the Handbook of East Asian Religious Movements is an excellently written, meticulously annotated, and elegantly presented collection of fine essays, which, in itself, is an outstanding scholarly achievement; not to mention the fact that a work of this magnitude has been long-awaited in the circles of East Asian religious studies.' Lehel Balogh, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan, Journal of Religion in Japan 7 (2018) 'Assembling an array of specialists from the field, this edited volume, part of the valued Brill Handbooks on Contemporary Religion Series, is a significant contribution for scholars and general readers in the fields of religious studies, sociology, history, political science, regional studies, anthropology, conflict studies, and theology.' David W. Kim, Australian National University, Religious Studies Review 44. 4, December 2018
