This work explores the points of contact, as well as the differences between the distinct notions of divine embodiment developed by Maximos the Confessor (580-662), one of the greatest Greek Fathers, and Tsong kha pa (1357-1419), arguably the most important thinker in the history of Tibetan Buddhism. Both authors developed a spiritual theology where natural contemplation and the practice of the virtues are invested with a transformative value and are construed as a response to a cosmic intelligence, which sustains the universe, but also becomes manifest in history.

"Cattoi and McDaniel present a selection of articles on the role of the body and the spiritual senses--our transfigured channels of sensory perceptions--in the context of spiritual practice. The volume investigates this theme across a variety of different religious traditions, starting from early and medieval Christianity, addressing a number of Eastern traditions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and finally touching on some modern forms of spirituality and psychotherapy"-- "This volume is a collection of articles reflecting on the role of the body and the senses in the context of different traditions of spiritual practice. Ranging from the world of Medieval women mystics to the writings of Jonathan Edwards, from the Tantric practices of Indian sadhus to the emergence of New-Age Western spirituality, this study challenges the tendency of post-Kantian modernity to identify "spirituality" with an intellectual flight from sensuality and attempts instead to retrieve a more integrated and holistic approach. The editors and the contributors of this volume are members of the Mysticism Study Group at the American Academy of Religion"--

Contemporary society tends to conceal death and the dying process from public view, seeking to erase them from our consciousness. This attitude of denial stands in great contrast to the approach of the great spiritual traditions of humanity, for which the dying process was an integral part of spiritual practice. This volume offers a sample of reflextions from scholars and practitioners on the theme of death and dying, ranging from the Christian tradition to Hinduism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, while also touching on the themes of the afterlife and near-death experiences.

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. The volume closes with a section devoted to comparative and constructive explorations of different speculative themes that range from the theological to the philosophical or experiential. This handbook explores how the study of Buddhist-Christian relations has been and ought to be done. The Routledge Handbook of Buddhist-Christian Studies is essential reading for researchers and students interested in Buddhist-Christian studies, Asian religions, and interreligious relationships. It will be of interest to those in fields such as anthropology, political science, theology, and history.
