This supplemental theology text prepares students for the real task of understanding and articulating their Christian beliefs in a religiously and culturally diverse world.

Kristen Johnston Largen in this exciting volume takes the reader on such a pilgrimage into Buddhism, ultimately to address what we as Christians might mean by salvation. It first explores the model of comparative theology and the meanings of salvation, or soteriology, in Christian tradition. It then reviews the chief outlines of the Buddhist worldview and explores the concept of salvation in Buddhism. Then Largen returns to the Christian tradition to show what Buddhists us can teach about themselves and ourselves.
