Evangelical Zen, Second Edition

By Paul Louis Metzger

Book Overview

Evangelical Zen is part Augustine's Confessions and part Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Here Paul Louis Metzger, an Evangelical Christian theologian, reflects on his spiritual journey--an inner pilgrimage of sorts that weaves through a physical forty-day journey with his family to Japan. The experiences of that journey, the beauties of Japan, its culture, and its religion become for him a lens on a deeper quest: here he is searching for and, he believes, finding a global humanity in conversation with the late Zen Buddhist priest Kyogen Carlson, his Buddhist friend. This second edition includes a new foreword by esteemed missionary statesman and scholar, Thomas John Hastings, a new introduction and new concluding essay by the author, and an afterword by the acclaimed Buddhist author, Sallie Jiko Tisdale.
