Buddhism And Christianity And Its Christian Critics

Buddhism And Christianity And Its Christian Critics is a book written by Paul Carus, an American philosopher and author. The book explores the similarities and differences between Buddhism and Christianity, and how they have been perceived by Christian critics. Carus discusses the fundamental beliefs and practices of both religions, including the concept of God, the nature of existence, and the path to enlightenment. He also delves into the historical interactions between Buddhism and Christianity, such as the influence of Buddhist thought on early Christian mystics and the Christian missionary efforts in Buddhist countries. One of the main themes of the book is the criticism that Christianity has leveled against Buddhism, particularly in regards to the perceived lack of a personal God and the emphasis on individual enlightenment rather than salvation through faith. Carus argues that these criticisms are based on misunderstandings of Buddhist teachings and that a deeper understanding of both religions can lead to a more harmonious coexistence. Overall, Buddhism And Christianity And Its Christian Critics is a thought-provoking exploration of two major world religions and their relationship to each other. It offers insights into the similarities and differences between the two and challenges readers to consider their own beliefs and attitudes towards other religions.THIS 156 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Buddhism and Its Christian Critics, by Paul Carus.
