Inter-religious learning has been described as a passing over to another religion and a return to one "s own with new eyes. What happens when, through passing over, you discover the other religion is not truly other but also your home? While multiple religious participation and belonging are common in Asia, they have not been prominent in the West until the coming of Buddhism generated a new trend of Buddhist-Christian and Buddhist-Jewish practice and dual belonging. Rose Drew "s book is by far the most in-depth, thorough and thought-provoking study of this revolutionary cultural development. Her engaging analysis, in conversation with current leading Buddhist-Christian figures, addresses the most important questions that dual belonging raises for comparative theology, philosophy and the history of religions. Yet her writing is so clear, elegant and enjoyable to read that it is difficult to put down her book. An instant classic, highly recommended for scholars and all readers touched by the dynamics of religious pluralism and inter-religious life in our time. John Makransky, Boston College, USA This book is an immensely important contribution to inter-religious studies. Lucidly written and effectively argued, it offers a timely theological exploration of whether integration is possible for people who claim that they are both fully Christian and fully Buddhist. Its conclusions will become a benchmark for future scholarship in this area.

Whether one is primarily (or exclusively) Christian or Buddhist, this book, part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series, is one that will both inform and engage. For Buddhists, it can be an aid in understanding all those Christians knocking on their zendo doors. For Christians, it can be a guide and inspiration for what might happen when they pass through those doors."- Paul F. Knitter, Professor of Theology, World Religions and Culture at the Union Theological Seminary in New York; Buddhadharma: The Practitioner's Quarterly, Spring 2012

Synopsis
The last century witnessed a gradual but profound transformation of the West's religious landscape. In today's context of diversity, people are often influenced by, and sometimes even claim to belong to, more than one religious tradition. Buddhism and Christianity is a particularly prevalent and fascinating combination. This book is the first detailed exploration of Buddhist Christian dual belonging, engaging - from both Buddhist and Christian perspectives - the questions that arise, and drawing on extensive interviews with well-known individuals in the vanguard of this important and growing phenomenon. The book looks at whether it is possible to be authentically Buddhist and authentically Christian given the differences in beliefs and practices. It asks whether Buddhist Christians are irrational, religiously schizophrenic or spiritually superficial; or whether the thought and practice of Buddhism and Christianity can be reconciled in a way that makes possible deep commitment to both. Finally, the book considers whether the influence of Buddhist Christians on each of these traditions is something to be regretted or celebrated.
