Summary

Being a Christian isn't easy. Sustaining your belief throughout your life is a rare accomplishment. Indeed, central to the Christian condition is reflection on one's faith. In this landmark work, well-known theologian Paul Knitter explains how he looked to Buddhism to overcome a crisis of faith, becoming a stronger and more committed Christian in the process.
