Description
“The Light of Asia, and The Light of the World” by Samuel H. Kellogg is a comparative study of Buddhism and Christianity. Responding to Edwin Arnold’s poem The Light of Asia, which idealized the life and teachings of the Buddha, Kellogg contrasts Buddhist legend, doctrine, and ethics with the life, teachings, and redemptive message of Jesus Christ. With theological depth, the book defends Christian faith and highlights what Kellogg sees as the moral and spiritual superiority of Christ’s message over Buddhist philosophy.
