The Meaning of Christ

Overview

The Meaning of Christ reinterprets Christian tradition in the light of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. Keenan uses Buddhist thought to unveil facets of meaning in Christ not focused on in western thinking, and to help western Christians reclaim their mystic tradition.

John P. Keenan, professor emeritus of religion and an Episcopal priest, was resident scholar at Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture in Japan.
