Missionswissenschaft und Interreligiöser Dialog

Halevi, Yossi Klein

Am Eingang zum Garten Eden

Am Eingang zum Garten Eden

„Kann Religion zur Quelle des Friedens werden?“ Mit dieser Frage begann für den israelischen Journalist Yossi Klein Halevi eine zweijährige geistliche Reise in Israel. Als gläubiger Jude tauchte er in die Welt des Islams und des Christentums ein. Er begegnete christlichen Mönchen und islamischen Sufis, teilte mit ihnen religiöse Erfahrungen und feierte ihre Feste in Klöstern und Moscheen mit. Eindringlich beschreibt der Autor seine Suche nach einer Sprache der Versöhnung zwischen den Religionen im Heiligen Land.

Converging Ways? (ebook)

Conversion and Belonging in Buddhism and Christianity

Converging Ways? (ebook)

There is currently much discussion of both religious conversion and multiple religious belonging, but there has been little examination of their relationship. this book presents a variety of approaches to the problem, from autobiographical accounts of intense personal experience in monastic settings and research into historical controversies and empirical data to a comprehensive theory of multiple belonging.

Buddhist Perceptions of Jesus (ebook)

Papers of the Third Conference of the European Network of Buddhist-Christian Studies (St. Ottilien 1999)

Buddhist Perceptions of Jesus (ebook)

Buddhists have judged Christianity primarily from a spiritual-practical point of view. Thereby the three principles of the Noble Eightfold Path have proved decisive. In that regard it is very significant that negative judgements about Christianity always arose  over the question of vegetarianism and the consumption of alcohol which makes Buddhists believers doubt the spiritual level of Christianity. The collected articles and approaches of this volume present the difficulties of the Buddhist religion within the Christian-Buddhist Dialogue.
