The Scottish Network for Religion and Literature is delighted to host the launch of David Jasper and Ou Guang-an's new book, Literature and Religion: A Dialogue between China and the West (Wipf and Stock, 2020).

The book is a series of conversations between a scholar from China and a scholar from the West, each reading texts from the other's culture. One of the key issues is the nature of religion and what we understand by that term in a world in which ancient religious and customs seem to be dying or under threat. Does literature and religion offer the possibility of mutual understanding--or merely illustrate our differences?

The event will take place on Microsoft Teams at 2pm on Wednesday 25th November. David and Guang-an will introduce the book, and will explore the issues raised by their wide-ranging discussion. All are welcome to join the conversation.
