This is a nice side of Ravi, a way in which I have not seen (=read) him before. But I feel that he could have done much beter, sometimes the dialogue seems like a sketch. To detail the story with more social and natural (landscape) information and how inhabitans relate to that, would have made to story richer. And I also think that you have to have a background on budism before reading this, otherwise could be confusing.An excellent and intriguing read. I blazed through this and Im going to read it again back to back right away because there is so much to glean and I dont feel Ive fully grasped all this book has to offer.
I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads First Reads program. I didn't really enjoy this. I suppose it's my own fault, though--I didn't really know what I was getting into, and I had never heard of Ravi Zacharias before. What I was expecting was a comparison of Christianity and Buddhism, maybe focusing on celebrating the similarities while illustrating the basic differences. Nonjudgemental comparative religion, in short. That's not what Zacharias's book is.The idea of a dialogue
Insightful and thought-provoking. I really enjoyed reading this. It only took me about an hour in the morning to read through the whole thing, but that's okay.

I read this book at the urging of a friend. He figured that as an instructor of comparative and Asian religion and someone who is involved in Buddhist-Christian dialogue, I would find the book to be of interest.I did find the book interesting, but probably not for the same reasons as my friend. Author Ravi Zacharias and many of his reviewers claim that the book is a dialogue meant to explore these two traditions, specifically how their teachings relate to the suffering of a prostitute dying of
This short polemical book by Ravi Zacharias showcases some of what is wrong with fundamentalist Christianity. The dialogue between Jesus and Buddha which supposedly presents and compares the Christian and Buddhist religion is a joke. Even as someone who knows very little about Buddhism it is not hard to see that Jesus is up against a straw man Buddha. Some of the other reviews point this out in more detail.A general problem in fundamentalism, which is evident in this book too, is the way that
