Great non-judgmental explanation of Buddhism,
By danielgs@pacbell.net (Californie, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Serene Compassion: A Christian Appreciation of Buddhist Holiness (Hardcover)
This book is a great academic treat for Christians who want to examine the truths of Buddhism from a Christian point of view. In each chapter, Carmody presents the basic tenets of Buddhism, and then compares them to synonymous ideas in Christianity. Additionally she points out ideas which are contradictory or not compatible between the two. What is nice about this is the non-judgmental approach that Carmody takes - she is obviously a genuine Christian believer who has practiced and studied Buddhism, and despite her commitment to the Christian gospel, has many kind and appreciative things to say about Buddhist ideas and practice. This is one of the best books in my library - refreshing, though a little academic at points.
