"John Keenan's work remains radical, both in getting behind established conventions to the roots of Christian faith on the one hand, and yet opening up Christianity's primary sources toward a global conversation on the other. This book is exemplary in thinking afresh about the meaning of Christ in dialogue with Mahayana philosophical traditions." --Amos Yong, Professor of Theology & Mission, Fuller Theological Seminary "Loaded with helpful historical and linguistic background information, Keenan's book carefully guides the reader to fresh insights into Paul's letter. Keenan's deep learnedness in both the scholarship on Paul and Buddhist philosophy enables him to write an interfaith commentary as few others could." --Kristin Beise Kiblinger, Author, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Director of the International and Global Studies Program, Winthrop University "Continuing his mission to 'enunciate the gospel in ever-new languages and philosophies,' Keenan offers a penetrating Mahayana reading of Paul's letter to the Philippians. Beautifully written, it opens our spiritual imagination to new ways of understanding Jesus Christ and experiencing his message." --Catherine Cornille, Professor of Comparative Theology, Boston College.
