Beginning Thursday, April 18 and continuing until May 9, we welcome Paul Knitter to our Thursday at 10 group to discuss his book Without Buddha, I Could Not be a Christian.

From the publisher, “Without Buddha I could Not be a Christian narrates how esteemed theologian, Paul F. Knitter overcame a crisis of faith by looking to Buddhism for inspiration. From prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can encourage a more person-centered conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first, and liturgy and tradition second. Moving and revolutionary, this book will inspire Christians everywhere.”

Please consider purchasing his book from our partner, Serenity Book Shop. Doing so supports a local, independent book store.

• April 25-Jesus and Buddha (Chapter 5)
