Missiological Issues in the Encounter with Emerging Buddhism

Abstract

Buddhism in modern culture is taking on three forms that cut across the traditional distinctions among Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. Global Buddhism, Enlightenment Buddhism, and People's Buddhism present the missiologist and missionary new challenges, among them learning how both to spread the good news of the gospel and to cooperate with the best in these new forms of Buddhism.
