Christine Mollier reveals in this volume previously unexplored dimensions of the interaction between Buddhism and Taoism in medieval China. While scholars of Chinese religions have long recognized the mutual influences linking the two traditions, Mollier here brings to light their intense contest for hegemony in the domains of scripture and ritual. Drawing on a far-reaching investigation of canonical texts, together with manuscript sources from Dunhuang and the monastic libraries of Japan - many of them studied here for the first time - she demonstrates the competition and complementarity of the two great Chinese religions in their quest to address personal and collective fears of diverse ills, including sorcery, famine, and untimely death. 目录： Chapter 1 The Heavanly Kitchens Chapter 2 In Pursuit of the Socerers Chapter 3 Augmenting the Life Account Chapter 4 Under Stellar Protection Chapter 5 Guanyin in a Daoist Guise

本书以明末清初来华的天主教耶稣会为媒介，研究16世纪以来的中西文化交流。全书围绕天主教和儒学的关系，讨论在当时学者之间发生的“基督论”、“年代学”、“儒家宗教性”和“中国礼仪之争”等问题。作者在文本研读和事实考订的基础上，采用中西比较的方法，对涉及的内容进行“跨文化诠释”。书中引用的中外文资料，很多是近年来学术界新披露的档案文献，还有不少是作者从明清史籍中查考的相关记载。作者认为：明清之际，欧洲耶稣会士和中国儒生之间有着比一般估计的“天文”、“地理”、“历算”、“火炮”等器物层面更加深入的精神交往，甚而在儒家“经学”和天主教“神学”之间，展开过深入的学术探讨。用“跨文化诠释”的方法，重现、审视和判定四百年前发生的“经学与神学相遇”的历史，作者提出：中西方学者之间的初次相遇，给世界激发的是一种“人文主义”，而非“殖民主义”。
