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...

3.0 out of 5 stars 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great interreligious dialogue, May 6, 2007
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!!
