Böcker av Charles B. Jones

Provides a comprehensive overview of Chinese Pure Land Buddhism. Chinese Pure Land Buddhism has previously received very little attention from western scholars. Charles B. Jones examines the reasons for the lack of scholarly attention and why the few past treatments of the topic missed many of its distinctive features.

The author traces the rich history of Christianity's many encounters with other religions, from the Roman Empire and Paul's speech to the Athenians on Mars Hill to the discovery of non-European peoples, through various currents of philosophy and science.
