《歷史、比較和理論視角：卜正民教授榮休紀念論文集》(Historical, Comparative, and Theoretical Perspectives: A Festschrift in Honour of Timothy Brook)，陳金華，張德偉編，2023年。

為了紀念卜正民 (Timothy J. Brook) 教授從英屬哥倫比亞大學 (UBC) 榮休，國際漢學界與宗教學界於2022 年 8 月組織了一場與本論文集相同名稱的國際學術研討會。會議主題為 “ 宗教和地方社會 ” ，旨在反映卜正民教授對於中華帝國晚期佛教研究的里程碑似貢獻。該領域自此以後，也經歷了長足的進步與發展。

我等之研究，特別強調須採取“多維視角”，以此方能突出在特定地方背景下研究宗教之重要性。然而，我等亦能認識到此種方法在全面理解其整體意義方面可能存有侷限。歷史視角強調“時間”之關鍵重要性，故我等欲將歷史事件置於適當之背景中，以此來理解其在較長時間段中之重要性。

由於受邀學者之鼎力支持，吾等設定之目標已然達致。此紀念集中收錄之16篇卓越論文由來自多個國家之著名學者撰寫。各國學者之精彩奉獻，亦體現於主題之多樣、獨特與豐富之上，此恰與卜正民教授在其整個學術生涯中所追求之學術目標一致。這也提醒吾等在未來，應優先關注特定研究之領域，如此方纔不負我等編纂此一紀念集之初心。
