Description: While process philosophers and theologians have
written numerous essays on Buddhist-Christian dialogue, few have
sought to expand the current Buddhist-Christian dialogue into a
""trilogue"" by bringing the natural sciences into the discussion
as a third partner. This was the topic of Paul O. Ingram's previous
book, Buddhist-Christian Dialogue in an Age of Science. The thesis
of the present work is that Buddhist-Christian dialogue in all
three of its forms--conceptual, social engagement, and
interior--are interdependent processes of creative transformation.
Ingram appropriates the categories of Whitehead's process
metaphysics as a means of clarifying how dialogue is now mutually
and creatively transforming both Buddhism and Christianity.
Endorsements: ""The Process of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue is many
things: Reflections on the historical process of Buddhist-Christian
dialogue, the author's own intellectual process of evolving
dialogue, and the vision of dialogue informed by a Whiteheadian
view of process. The multifaceted complexity and richness of the
work, however, issues from Paul Ingram's wholehearted engagement
with dialogue, not just as a scholar, but as a person. In plumbing
the very depths of his own faith, he has been inexorably impelled
to examine his life within the larger scope of human and cosmic
diversity, to reach beyond any sort of dogmatically predefined
boundaries. He is a scholar of Japanese Pure Land thought, East
Asian Buddhism, and religion and science, but it is here in The
Process of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue that he truly reveals the
deep hues of his kaleidoscopic lifework."" --Mark Unno, University
of Oregon ""Ingram offers an insightful, well-structured, and
panoramic view of the field of Buddhist-Christian studies, mapping
out the conceptual, socially-engaged, and interior dimensions of
the dialogue that continue to enrich and expand the horizons of
both traditions."" --Ruben L. F. Habito, Perkins School of
Theology, Southern Methodist University About the Contributor(s):
Paul O. Ingram is Professor of Religion Emeritus at Pacific
Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. He is the author of
Buddhist-Christian Dialogue in an Age of Science, Wrestling with
