Paul Williams did the opposite. After twenty years spent practising and teaching Tibetan Buddhism in Britain, scholar and broadcaster Paul Williams astonished his family and friends in 1999 by converting to Roman Catholicism. Williams explains why he joined a Church that many Buddhists and others might regard as a repressed and outdated way of life and belief. He argues that being a Catholic in the modern world is no less rational than being a Buddhist, and may in many respects, be more so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567088308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567088307\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 6.22w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommonweal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2003 pg. 23\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Century\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/19\/2004 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 40","brand":"Paul Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065023607039,"sku":"9780567088307","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e96ebf4-f2a9-4fa2-b558-4a224e00581d.jpg?v=1768672628","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unexpected-way-paul-williams-9780567088307","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
