Understanding Buddhism: Relational Approaches for Christian Witness

This work reflects a rare combination of attentiveness, intellectual honesty, and genuine interreligious sensitivity in its engagement with Buddhism. Rather than treating Buddhism as an abstract system or theoretical construct, it approaches it as a living tradition shaped by human experience, ethical discipline, and contemplative depth. The treatment of themes such as suffering, peace, moral seriousness, and spiritual practice is grounded in lived reality and conveyed with careful respect.
