A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

An eminent scholar s critical examination and comparison of the teachings of some of the world s major religions, primarily Christianity and Buddhism, to a lesser extent Islam and Judaism. The author s main thesis is that no religion can claim to be the only true religion without involving human society either in bitter conflict or in merciless persecution. In the final section of the book, he treats the Buddhist and Brahmanical ways of salvation as a quest which parallels and might well usefully inspire the researches of present-day scientists probing the mysteries of time and space.

David L. Snellgrove, well known for his earlier publications relating to Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, has recently focused his energies on Southeast Asia. He holds a Doctor of Literature from the University of Cambridge, and is Professor Emeritus of the University of London and a Fellow of the British Academy.
