Lovely book exploring the intersections between Buddhism and Christianity, which I think benefit greatly from the interchange. Christianity could use a good dose of Buddhism to bring it back to its original emphasis on love and compassion and away from its current status as a tool of domination and oppression. And I'd venture to say that when handled rightly, the individual consciousness fostered by Christianity can help to bolster what can become formless and impotent, through an overdose of Buddhist non-self.
My personal belief is that all religions should be seen as windows on a common spiritual reality and that the historical wars between them now have to be overcome, so that we can better understand that multidimensional reality from many sides. Books like this are a help in that endeavor.
