Sustaining belief without any doubts for one’s entire life is a very rare accomplishment. Indeed, many would say that examining one’s faith at least once is a central part of the Christian condition. In this landmark work, esteemed theologian Paul Knitter explains the unique path that he took to overcome his doubts, becoming a stronger Christian in the process.\u003cp\u003eHonest and unflinching, \u003ci\u003eWithout Buddha I Could not be a Christian\u003c\/i\u003e narrates each common spiritual dilemma that Knitter has struggled with and explains how a Buddhist worldview has allowed him to resolve each one. From the ‘petitioning’ nature of Christian prayer to how Christianity views life after death, Knitter argues that a Buddhist standpoint can help inspire a more person-centred conception of Christianity, where individual religious experience comes first, and liturgy and tradition second. Moving and revolutionary, this book will inspire Christians everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oneworld Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032776098032,"sku":"9781851686735","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781851686735_p0.jpg?v=1763596688","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781851686735","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
