Earthing the Cosmic Christ of Ephesians—The Universe, Trinity, and Zhiyi’s Threefold Truth, Volume 2

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In this anticipated second volume, John P. Keenan, with his usual skill and erudition, delivers on his goal of bringing the ‘cosmic Christ of Ephesians back to earth.’ Reading closely and overcoming numerous potential stumbling blocks for modern readers, Keenan uses Zhiyi’s Buddhist framework to help us develop an interpretation of Ephesians that works for our times, our scientific outlook, our social norms, and our situation within the ‘global theological commons.’”

“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.”
