The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity (en Inglés) - Arthur Lillie

The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity by Arthur Lillie explores the possible connections between early Christianity and Buddhist teachings, traditions, and religious practices. Drawing on historical, textual, and comparative evidence, Lillie examines similarities in ethics, monastic life, religious ideals, miracles, and spiritual doctrines. The book considers whether Buddhist ideas may have reached the Mediterranean world and influenced the development of early Christian thought. Written as a work of comparative religion, it offers a fascinating perspective on the interaction of ancient religious traditions. This classic study is valuable for readers interested in Buddhism, Christianity, comparative religion, ancient history, and the origins of Christian beliefs.
