Shinran's Gospel of Pure Grace - (AAS Monographs) 8th Edition by Alfred Bloom (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The central aim of this study of Shinran's thought is to make a systematic presentation of his cardinal ideas which, though well known in general studies of Buddhism, have not been given the detailed attention they merit. It is therefore hoped that this presentation will fill a need in Buddhist studies for a more adequate understanding of Shinran which can become the basis for the consideration of his thought in comparison with similar themes in Christianity or other traditions.
