Christian Meyer is studying how the traditional Chinese formula shendao shejiao (by “theistic ways” establishing the (moral) teachings) played an instrumental role in the processes of appropriating the new Western concept of “religion.” The project analyzes its use as an illuminating example of the conceptual history of “religion” in modern China.
