Martin Luther and Buddhism: Aesthetics of Suffering

Martin Luther and Buddhism: Aesthetics of Suffering traces the historical and theological context of Luther’s breakthrough in terms of articulating justification and justice in connection to the Word of God and divine suffering. Paul Chung critically and constructively engages in dialogue with Luther and with later interpreters of Luther such as Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann, placing the Reformer in dialogue not only with Asian spirituality and religions but also with emerging global theology of religions.
