Buddhist Texts Quoted As Scripture By The Gospel Of John, A Discovery In The Lower Criticism (1906)

Buddhist Texts Quoted As Scripture By The Gospel Of John, A Discovery In The Lower Criticism is a book written by Albert Joseph Edmunds and published in 1906. The book explores the possibility that the Gospel of John, one of the four canonical gospels in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, contains references to and quotes from Buddhist texts. Edmunds argues that these references indicate a possible influence of Buddhist teachings on the Gospel of John, and suggests that this influence may have been mediated through the Hellenistic culture of the time. The book is a work of lower criticism, which focuses on the analysis of the text itself rather than on historical or cultural context. It includes a detailed examination of the relevant passages in the Gospel of John and in Buddhist texts, as well as a discussion of the implications of this discovery for the study of religion and the history of ideas. Overall, Buddhist Texts Quoted As Scripture By The Gospel Of John, A Discovery In The Lower Criticism is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional views of the origins and development of religious ideas in the ancient world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
