The Buddha, The Prophet and the Christ

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1956, this book brings together from the canonical writings of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity the most important of the passages in which the view of the Founder is reflected. It aims to let each of the sacred traditions tell its own story and only such comments have been added as seem necessary to bring out the full significance of the passage quoted. The final chapter summarizes some of the difficult questions which arise from a comparison of the extracts from the 3 traditions.

Rezensionen

'I found it an interesting and stimulating presentation of the three great figures. It is good collateral reading for History of Religion courses.' Chas S. Braden, Journal of the American Academy of Religion.
