The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162588186)

The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity is a book written by Arthur Lillie that explores the possible connections between Buddhism and the early Christian church. Lillie argues that there are similarities between the teachings of Buddha and Jesus, and that it is possible that Buddhist ideas influenced the development of Christianity. The book examines various aspects of both religions, including their views on suffering, morality, and the afterlife. Lillie also discusses the historical context in which these religions emerged and how they may have interacted with each other. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the possible connections between two major world religions and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion.1893.
