ajlewis2's review against another edition
3.0
I love Marcus Borg. This book is not like others I've read. That makes sense, because he's an editor here putting together sayings of Jesus and Buddha to show similarities. This was my second attempt at reading this. I did see the parallels this time, probably because my mind has changed some. Borg gives a brief intro to the short sections of parallel sayings on different topics. One especially interesting to me was Buddha saying there would be a perfect lord to come in the future. I wondered what or who he might have meant.

When the proselytizers come to our door, the boys know to come get me. I tend to speak to the preachers long enough that THEY are the ones looking at their watches... gee, look at the time...
This is one of the books I show them to counter the books they show me. I thought I'd give it another complete read-through this year.
On the left page is what Jesus said. On the right page is what Buddha said about 500 years earlier. They are rather astonishingly similar.

If you like Scandinavian crime/mysteries, this is for you. Cold, not particularly well-drawn character.
