Buddhism, Christianity and the Question of Creation : Karmic or Divine? EPUB
Edited by Perry Schmidt-Leukel
EPUB
Description
Is the world created by a divine creator? Or is it the constant product of karmic forces? The issue of creation was at the heart of the classic controversies between Buddhism and Hindu Theism.
In modern times it can be found at the centre of many polemical debates between Buddhism and Christianity.
Is this the principal barrier that separates Buddhism from Christianity and other theistic religions? The contributions to Part One explore the various aspects of traditional and contemporary Buddhist objections against the idea of a divine creator as well as Christian possibilities to meet the Buddhist critique.
Part Two asks for the potential truth on both sides and suggests a surprising way that the barrier might be overcome.
This opens a new round of philosophical and theological dialogue between these two major traditions with challenging insights for both. Contributors: Jose I. CabezA³n, John P. Keenan, Armin Kreiner, Aasulv Lande, John D'Arcy May, Eva K.
Neumaier, Perry Schmidt-Leukel, Ernst Steinkellner.
