What is Buddha & Christ : images of wholeness about?
This volume explores the visual images produced by two of the world's great religions, and the cultural and spiritual traditions that inform and support them. Elinor, who traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia studying the images, draws attention to the way in which they embody history, myth and doctrine, thus offering a comparative introduction to Buddhism and Christianity. He also points out similarities and differences as local inflections of a universal archetype and the basics for dialogues between the two faiths. Finally, he illustrates and explains the symbols, patterns, and styles of art. Contains 120 images of Buddhist and Christian iconography from around the world. Annotation c.
