Parables of Jesus and Buddha: Exegesis and Anomaly

Parables of Jesus and Buddha: Exegesis and Anomaly deals with the parables of Buddha and Jesus and makes an attempt to study them through comparison. One can feel the conspicuous and favourable presence of the elements of the Buddhist Jatakas in the Gospel. This kind of a study becomes all the more important and relevant in the present scenario because of a growing need to handle religious diversity. Besides, the book gives a totally new and fresh interpretation of the Gospelic parables from a literary and cultural point of view than a pulpit interpretation on theological lines. This diversion stimulates us to rethink our position of reading Bible as a mere religious scripture and sees it as a book of literature and history of the Hebrews.
