Harrist Jr., Columbia University I react to Wang's work as I do to Zizek's: I find it electrifying. Jerome Silbergeld, Princeton University Shaping the Lotus Sutra explores what the medieval Chinese actually believed about spiritual matters, through careful analysis of artistic representations of its most beloved text, the Lotus Sutra. Amy McNair, University of Kansas
