Buddhist Philosophy and New Testament Theology

Abstract

PROLOGUE By way of Buddhist-Christian dialogue we Christians can become aware of the latent motifs in our own tradition. The dialogue gives us opportunities to rethink the Christian tradition, not to interpret it from Buddhist viewpoint but, based on these actualized motifs, to find a more adequate interpretation of its own. In this way BuddhistChristian dialogue is relevant also for the construction of New Testament theology.
