Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Dragon, Image, and Demon by Rev. Hampden C. DuBose is a critical examination of the three major religious traditions in China—Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism—through the lens of a 19th-century Christian missionary. DuBose presents these religions not only as philosophical or spiritual systems but… also as deeply intertwined with Chinese mythology, idol worship, and demonology. His descriptions are rich with vivid accounts of temples, rituals, and popular religious practices, often portraying them as superstitious or spiritually misguided. While the book offers valuable ethnographic detail and insight into late Qing Dynasty religious life, it reflects the missionary agenda of its time, framing Chinese religions in contrast to Christianity. DuBose's perspective, though biased, provides a window into how Western observers perceived and interpreted Eastern spirituality during a period of cultural and religious confrontation. Despite its polemical tone, the work remains a useful historical source for understanding both Chinese religion and missionary attitudes.
