"Buddhist-Christian dialogue has a long and complex history that stretches back to the first centuries of the common era. Comprising forty-two international and disciplinarily diverse chapters, this volume begins by setting up a framework for examining the nature of Buddhist-Christian interreligious dialogue, discussing how research in this area has been conducted in the past and considering future theoretical directions. Subsequent chapters delve into: important episodes in the history of Buddhist-Christian dialogue, contemporary conversations such as monastic interreligious dialogue, multiple religious identity, and dual religious practice, Buddhist-Christian co-operation in social justice, social engagement, pastoral care and interreligious education settings.

It will be of interest to those in fields such as anthropology, political science, theology, and history"--
