Confucianism

by Francis X. Clooney

Published 1 July 1992
This engaging series is the first to offer young adults a concise, completely current, and very readable survey of the world's great religions. Each volume describes where a particular religion is practiced, its central beliefs and rituals, its contributions to world civilizations, and an analysis of how it has spread through immigration and conversion.

Young readers will see how Confucianism, while lacking the universal adaptability of other great faiths, nonetheless acquired the aspects of a religion and played a profoundly important role in the development of China.
