The Religion of Falun Gong
2012 book by Benjamin Penny
The Religion of Falun Gong is a 2012 nonfiction book by Benjamin Penny, published by the University of Chicago Press, that discusses the Falun Gong's belief system.
The publisher stated that sources often did not include much analysis of Falun Gong beliefs but instead examined the group's political factors.[1]
Penny's main argument is that Falun Gong functions as a religion even if the Chinese government,[2] Li Hongzhi, and other people involved in Falun Gong do not publicly regard it as such.[3]
