4.0 out of 5 stars
Not for the Zen novice
This book is very heavy in Zen philosophy... if you're new to Zen (aka. less than a few books) don't start with this book... start with William Johnston's book "Christian Zen", it's a MUCH simpler read...

Well written
Maybe I'm just too much of a Westerner. This is well written, but I find it difficult to see the connection between Zen and Christianity from this book.

Great interreligious dialogue,
This review is from: Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit: The Place of Zen in Christian Life (Paperback)
It is a beautifully written work which points to ways in which Buddhism can add flavor to Christian life. Kennedy uses a fine selection of both Eastern and Western literary work to illustrate his points. It is an excellent read for anyone curious about the Buddhist tradition. Kennedy is a Jesuit and also a Zen master and therefore is very knowledgable about both ways of life and how they can complement each other. Highly recommended!!

Well written. Clear account of Zen and Christianity. If you're a contemplative soul, this is a must read. The author shares keen insight into the place of Zen in Christian life.
