Book Description
In an era where spiritual seekers increasingly look beyond traditional boundaries, Amos Yong presents a groundbreaking exploration of how ancient wisdom traditions can illuminate our understanding of the divine presence in creation. The Cosmic Breath ventures into the emerging field of pneumatological theology, examining how the Holy Spirit serves as a bridge between Christian and Buddhist spiritual insights.
This scholarly yet accessible work demonstrates how contemporary conversations between faith and science are being transformed by a focus on the Spirit's role in the natural world. Yong skillfully weaves together Christian theological reflection with Buddhist contemplative traditions, creating a dialogue that enriches both perspectives while engaging seriously with modern scientific understanding.
Rather than treating these as separate domains, the author reveals how pneumatological thinking generates fresh philosophical resources for comprehending humanity's relationship with the cosmos. Through careful comparative analysis, he shows how Buddhist-Christian dialogue can contribute meaningfully to broader discussions about religion and science.
For readers interested in interfaith spirituality, theological innovation, and the intersection of ancient wisdom with contemporary knowledge, this work offers a unique perspective on how the Spirit moves through diverse religious traditions. The result is an invitation to see the divine breath animating not only individual spiritual practice but the entire fabric of existence itself.
