Buddhist texts quoted as scripture by the Gospel of John: A Discovery in the lower Criticism

Buddhist Texts Quoted as Scripture by the Gospel of John: A Discovery in the Lower Criticism by Albert J. Edmunds explores the possible connections between Buddhist teachings and the Gospel of John. Edmunds investigates the influence of Buddhist scriptures on Christian texts, particularly through lower criticism, which focuses on textual variations and sources. The work suggests that certain themes in the Gospel of John may have parallels with Buddhist thought, proposing an intriguing crosscultural exchange that could have shaped early Christian writings.
