A number of people experience their own spiritual lives as being inspired by more than one religious tradition. This title looks at a number of issues involved: what it means theologically to move beyond tolerance towards a genuine appreciation of other religions, and how multi-religious identity can be assessed theologically.
Buddhism is often presented as a religion without dogmas and commandments, without God and without any need to believe, tolerating all and everything. This book introduces Buddhism as a genuine religion and as one of the most powerful ones, being as demanding as it is consoling.
Is the world created by a divine creator? Or is it the constant product of karmic forces? Exploring the aspects of Buddhist objections against the idea of a divine creator and Christian possibilities to meet the Buddhist critique, this work asks for the potential truth on both sides and suggests a surprising way of overcoming the barrier.
