Christianity vs Buddhism

The strongest case for Christianity. The strongest case for Buddhism. No thumb on the scale.Christianity and Buddhism are usually pictured as two routes up a single mountain. This book takes them more seriously than that. It argues that they do not simply give different answers to the same question; they begin from different places, ask different questions, and reach for different ends. The honest thing to do is to let each one speak in full.So each tradition makes its own case here, at its strongest. Christianity begins with a person: a God who made you on purpose, a brokenness that needs healing, the gift of grace, and the hope of being raised to a life that never ends. Buddhism begins somewhere else entirely: the truth of suffering, the self that may be an illusion, the wheel of endless becoming, and the freedom found in waking up and letting go.Then the two traditions turn and put their sharpest questions to each other, and meet, now and then, on common ground that neither expected.The author writes as a referee, not a judge. Both sides are given their full strength, and the reader is trusted to weigh them.Book Three in The Strongest Case series.The verdict is yours.
