This book makes a compelling case for the existence of ancient Buddhist texts quoted in the Gospel of John, suggesting a deeper connection between the Eastern and Western spiritual traditions than previously thought. The author, a prominent Buddhist scholar, delves into the depths of Buddhist literature to meticulously compare these scriptures with the Fourth Gospel, revealing striking parallels in subject matter, phraseology, and miraculous events. The text used for comparison is a 2nd-century Buddhist manuscript preserved in Pali, the original language of the Buddhist scriptures. By tracing these connections, the book challenges long-held assumptions about the development of Christianity, inviting readers to reconsider the influences that shaped the Gospels. Its examination of ancient Buddhist texts in relation to the Gospel of John sheds new light on the origins and evolution of religious thought and practice.
