Buddha And Christ by Zacharias P. Thundy
Nativity Stories and Indian Traditions
A comparative study of Buddhist and Christian traditions that highlights striking parallels between the Buddha’s life and the New Testament infancy narratives and apocrypha. It surveys historical channels of contact between India and the Mediterranean, analyzes shared mythic motifs, and reviews philological and folkloric evidence for cross-cultural transmission. The book weighs competing explanations—independent development, common Near Eastern patterns, or diffusion—ultimately proposing limited but meaningful Indian influence on early Christian storytelling.
