Produktbeschreibung

A growing number of people describe themselves as both Buddhist and Christian; but does such a self-description really make sense? Exploring the growing phenomenon of Buddhist-Christian dual belonging, a wide variety of authors including focus on three key questions: Can Christian and Buddhist accounts and practices of salvation be reconciled? Are Christian theism and Buddhist non-theism compatible? And does dual belonging inevitably distort the essence of these faiths, or merely change its cultural expression? Clarifying different ways of justifying dual belonging, contributors offer criticisms of dual belonging from different religious perspectives and from alternative methodological approaches.

Rezensionen

"Provides an excellent and truly ground-breaking resource for reflection on inter-faith relations." - Keith Ward, Heythrop College, UK

"Buddhist-Christian Dual Belonging convenes a serious conversation among experienced scholars committed to thinking through the very idea of dual belonging. Every pro and con is taken seriously, benefits and drawbacks noted, and little goes unchallenged. Important Christian voices are heard while, refreshingly, Buddhists participate fully in the debate. These illuminating essays will be a resource in the ongoing conversation among religious scholars and practitioners in every tradition." - Francis X Clooney, SJ, Harvard University, USA

"This volume brings much-needed clarity, depth, and rigor to emerging debates over dual religious belonging. Even as the essays challenge or affirm the phenomenon of dual belonging from distinct angles, they cohere as a single, densely woven conversation. As a whole, the book maps the lay of the land by marking contested sites such as the nature of religion, the nature of faith, and what it means to belong to a community." - Michelle Voss Roberts, Wake Forest University, USA
