This text contains works by scholars of Buddhism, themselves Buddhist, who seek to apply the critical tools of the academy to reassess the truth and transformative value of their tradition in its relevance to the contemporary world. The essays articulate the need for and purposes of this approach to the study of Buddhism, or "Buddhist Theology", and reflect critically upon fundamental aspects of Buddhist understanding or practice from a variety of contemporary, critical perspectives, in order to clarify or recover elements of Buddhist traditions seen as valuable for the contemporary world.
