The Prophet and the Bodhisattva

World Religions

“Charles Strain's deep study of Daniel Berrigan and Thich Nhat Hanh comes at a time of growing terrorism, ethnic and proxy wars, economic desperation, and environmental collapse. In the decades following Vietnam, Berrigan and Nhat Hanh have embodied a prophetic Christianity and a socially engaged Buddhism that require the transmutation of hatred and anger into identification and reconciliation--'being peace.' Impeccable scholarship and personal empathy distinguish this rich contribution to Buddhist-Christian studies.”
