Description
Albert J Edmunds presents a fascinating scholarly examination of the connections between Buddhist texts and the Gospel of John in this work on lower criticism. The book investigates the hypothesis that Buddhist scriptures may have influenced or been directly referenced in the composition of the Fourth Gospel, one of the New Testament’s most theologically significant texts.
Through careful textual analysis and comparative methodology, Edmunds explores linguistic parallels, thematic resonances, and potential historical transmission routes between Buddhist philosophy and early Christian theology. This work contributes to broader scholarly conversations about cross-cultural religious influences during the formative periods of both Buddhism and Christianity.
The study employs lower criticism techniques—the textual and linguistic analysis of original documents—to support its conclusions. It remains an important resource for scholars interested in comparative religion, biblical criticism, and the historical development of Christian doctrine.
