  • EARTHING THE COSMIC CHRIST OF EPHESIANS—THE UNIVERSE, TRINITY, AND ZHIYI’S THREEFOLD TRUTH, VOLUME 4
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    In a Tiantai theology, conventional truth is conventionally arisen, which means that such truth is never set once and for all, but is to be cherished and rethought in new circumstances, whether interreligious or scientific--but always in critical consonance with its ancient embodiments. Contexts shift frameworks, but life in Christ is translatable across cultures. Christian fai...

  • THE EMPTIED CHRIST OF PHILIPPIANS
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    Before the Gospels were written, long before the creeds of the Church were hammered out, Christ followers in Philippi sang a hymn of the Christ who, "although he was in the form of God . . . emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born as are all humans." But this emptied Christ never fit neatly into later theologies of the church, shaped by Greek thought, concerned ...

  • GROUNDING OUR FAITH IN A PLURALIST WORLD
    JOHN P. KEENAN / SYDNEY COPP / LANSING DAVIS / BUSTER G. SMITH
    This book draws upon the Mahayana philosophy developed within Buddhism, employing it as a means to empty our usual alternatives for viewing the world's many religions--whether exclusivism, inclusivism, or pluralism. The aim is to free people from clinging to intellectual positions, enabling them gently but committedly to affirm their vernacular tradition as it is practiced on t...

  • THE GOSPEL OF MARK
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    John Keenan's 'The Gospel of Mark' is a radically new reading of this most intriguing of the Synoptic gospels - a remarkable feat in the face of the explosion of Markan scholarship over the last twenty years. Keenan accomplishes this by approaching Mark as no other scholar has done: through the lens of Mahayana-Buddhist philosophy. This view stresses the emptying of all preconc...

  • EARTHING THE COSMIC CHRIST OF EPHESIANS—THE UNIVERSE, TRINITY, AND ZHIYI’S THREEFOLD TRUTH, VOLUME 1
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    This is the introductory volume of a multivolume, verse-by-verse, interfaith rereading of the New Testament letter to the Ephesians. It looks to the Tiantai Buddhist master Zhiyi and his "threefold truth" to enhance our appreciation of nascent trinitarian themes in Ephesians. And it draws upon a broad array of scientific, theological, and philosophical thinkers in aid of reject...

  • EARTHING THE COSMIC CHRIST OF EPHESIANS—THE UNIVERSE, TRINITY, AND ZHIYI’S THREEFOLD TRUTH, VOLUME 2
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    This is volume 2 of a wide-ranging interfaith reading of the Letter to the Ephesians--a New Testament text whose words have inspired and enhanced Christian spiritual life and liturgy over the centuries. Unfortunately, at the same time, Ephesians has provided apparent scriptural support to those who would defend slavery, patriarchy, misogyny, and the physical power of Christ ove...

  • EARTHING THE COSMIC CHRIST OF EPHESIANS—THE UNIVERSE, TRINITY, AND ZHIYI’S THREEFOLD TRUTH, VOLUME 3
    JOHN P. KEENAN
    As both a scholar of Buddhism and a Christian priest, John P. Keenan engages with the New Testament letter to the Ephesians, written by a member of the Pauline school likely near the end of the first century--a time when both the cultural world and the cosmos were much narrower than for us today. In pondering this scripture's significance for residents of the twenty-first centu...
