Knitter and Cox Publish Important New Books
Two good friends of the Ikeda Center,
Harvey Cox and
Paul Knitter, recently published books that have received positive attention in the mainstream media. In
The Future of Faith, Cox argues that we have entered an era in which increasing numbers of religious practitioners care more about ethics and spirituality than in the dogmas that divide us. Knitter's book,
Without Buddha I Could Not Be a Christian, echoes Cox's theme of practice over dogma and reveals how Knitter's exploration of Buddhism worked to enrich his own Christian faith. An early advisor to the Center, Professor Cox recently participated in the 2008 Ikeda Center event called
"Understanding Death, Appreciating Life." Co-editor of the Center's book
Subverting Greed, Professor Knitter was the subject of
this 2008 Ikeda Center interview.
