In the early twentieth-century, The Eastern Buddhist journal
pioneered the presentation of Buddhism to the west and encouraged
the west's engagement in interpretation. This interactive process
increased dramatically in the post-war period, when dialogue
between Buddhist and Christian thought began to take off in
earnest. These debates and dialogues brought in voices with a Zen
orientation, influenced in part by the philosophical Buddhism of
the Kyoto School. Also to be heard, however, were contributions
from the Pure Land and the Shin Buddhist traditions, which have a
strong tradition in the city. This book brings together a range of
authors who have significantly influenced subsequent
Buddhist-Christian dialogue and the interaction between east and
west. It is a companion volume to Listening to Shin Buddhism:
Starting Points of Modern Dialogue.
