Description - Politics and Religion in Ancient and Medieval Europe and China by Frederick Hok-ming Cheung
Seven diverse papers, written by ancient and medieval historians, are collected in this volume. Although the papers vary widely in the region and time-span of coverage - from ancient Egypt, the early Roman Empire, Norman England, to medieval China, they have in common their concern about the relationship between politics and different religions - Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism and others - in ancient and medieval Europe and Asia, and the respective intellectual and cultural interactions. The papers explore: the ancient Egyptian attitudes toward foreigners and foreign culture, the way the early Roman Empire treated mystery cults under its rule, the impact of a Buddhist ritual on Chinese religious culture, and the political meanings of the Imperial buildings in the Tang period among others.
