Críticas

Rory Mackenzie has been that rare person to combine profound faith in Christ, practical field mission experiences, years of love and personal friendships with Buddhists in Thailand as well as Scotland, and now he gives us the gift of his deep insights, through which mission workers as well as all Christians, can better understand, relate and bear witness among Buddhists neighbours. This book will be an invaluable resource for challenging common assumptions among Christians in the West (in contexts of rising fundamentalism, parochialism and misunderstandings) toward Buddhist migrants; as well as an invaluable resource for preparing cross cultural workers entering into Buddhist cultures. The best Christian treatment on Buddhist worldviews from a Christian analytic perspective to date! A highly recommended introductory textbook that explains Buddhist concepts clearly in the great tradition of respectful and genuine interfaith encounters." - Kang San Tan, Executive Director, Asia CMS
