| Summary: | In practicing across the Buddhist and Christian traditions, Roger Corless attempts to preserve the autonomy of each as a self-contained explanatory system. It would be more meaningful, however, if dual religious practitioners where to achieve a new synthesis in a coherent but provisional worldview. A resulting "Mahāyāna Christianity" need not become either another absolutist religion or a purely relativistic approach to religion. The spiritual formation facilitated by practice across traditions far outweighs the dangers of constructing new syntheses. |
