Reviews
<br> Ing's work is simply brilliant! He has brought both the right text and the right method to bear on the central question of the religious nature of the Confucian tradition. By focusing upon the Liji with its probing account of ritual performance and meaning and by applying the method and theory of religious studies, Ing has been able to probe the depths of religious meaning within the Confucian context specifically and larger Chinese context more generally. --Rodney L. Taylor, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Colorado at Boulder<p><br>
""The Dysfunction of Ritual in Early Confucianism brings readers into the intricacies of the text of the Liji. Michael Ing respects the diversity of perspectives in the text while paying close attention to the ways that its authors shared a central concern with failures in ritual practice.""--New Book in East Asian Studies ""Ing's work is simply brilliant!
