Buddhist And Christian Gospels by Albert J. Edmunds
An early comparative study that places passages from the Pali canon alongside selections from the New Testament to illuminate resemblances in sayings, parables, ethical ideals, and narrative motifs—including birth stories, temptations, healings, and final exhortations—while noting crucial doctrinal differences. Drawing on original translations and concise commentary, it assesses the antiquity of the Buddhist materials and cautiously considers questions of historical contact without asserting direct borrowing. Its aim is to equip readers to weigh parallels and contrasts for themselves, highlighting shared emphases on compassion, renunciation, and moral discipline amid divergent soteriological horizons.
