process of Buddhist-Christian Dialogue, The
Book Description
In an era where spiritual seekers increasingly draw from multiple wisdom traditions, understanding how different faiths can meaningfully engage with one another becomes essential. Paul O. Ingram presents a thoughtful exploration of how Buddhist and Christian traditions can enter into authentic dialogue across three distinct yet interconnected dimensions.
This scholarly work examines dialogue as it unfolds through conceptual exchange, social engagement, and interior spiritual practice. Rather than treating these as separate activities, Ingram demonstrates how they function as interdependent processes that enrich and inform one another. His approach draws upon the philosophical framework of Alfred North Whitehead's process thought, which views process itself as fundamental to both human experience and the very structure of reality.
Through this lens, readers discover how Buddhist-Christian dialogue operates as a dynamic, evolving encounter rather than a static comparison of doctrines. The book also ventures into how this interfaith conversation intersects with contemporary scientific understanding, offering a broader perspective on how ancient wisdom traditions can engage with modern knowledge.
For those interested in deepening their understanding of how different spiritual paths can inform and enhance one another, this work provides both theoretical foundation and practical insight. Ingram's analysis offers valuable guidance for anyone seeking to navigate the rich possibilities that emerge when Buddhist and Christian perspectives meet in genuine dialogue.
