Summary
Being a Christian isn't easy. Sustaining belief without any doubts for one's entire life is a very rare accomplishment. Indeed, many would say that examining one's faith at least once is a central part of the Christian condition. In this landmark work, esteemed theologian Paul F. Knitter explains the unique path that he took to overcome his doubts, becoming a stronger Christian in the process.
Honest and unflinching, Without Buddha I Could Not Be a Christian narrates each spiritual dilemma that Knitter has struggled with and explains how a Buddhist worldview has allowed him to resolve each one. From the "petitioning" nature of Christian prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can help inspire a more person-centered conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first, and liturgy and tradition second. Moving and revolutionary, this edition comes with a new postscript in which Professor Knitter reflects on and re-evaluates his position as a double-belonger.

Insightful
A good book to listen to if you are open minded. Jesus and Buddha did not ascribe any images of them so focusing on them is not helpful. Beyond words is the message. It if there Buddha Jesus you and me rest

I wish I could have written this book..
Beautiful narrator. An easy listen and for Yoga Teachers like myself, a text I will dive into again and again to aid my teaching and to support me in dialogues with people of both faiths, like myself.
