Abstract
My comments on Frederick Streng's paper will reflect my perspectives as a scholar trained in the history of religions and as a practicing Buddhist. (I am not a Buddhalogist.) Both perspectives, I feel, have something to contribute to interreligious dialogue and to the cross-cultural comparative study of religion; neither one is as strong when it is used alone. The way in which these perspectives are interwoven will be clear in my comments. I will comment on three sections of Professor Streng's paper. First, I will make a number of comments on the introductory section concerning methodology. Second, I will comment on Professor Streng's discussion of Mahayana Buddhism and the Perfection of Wisdom. Finally, I comment briefly on Professor Streng's conclusions and comparisons. I have nothing to say about his discussion of Luther, not having significant academic or practicing credentials to say anything on that topic.
