''The Story of Barlaam and Joasaph: Buddhism and Christianity'' by Kenneth S. MacDonald is a book that explores the fascinating tale of two young men from different religious backgrounds who become close friends and embark on a spiritual journey together. Barlaam, a Christian monk, is tasked with converting Joasaph, the prince and heir to a Buddhist kingdom, to Christianity. However, as they spend time together, Barlaam begins to see the wisdom in Joasaph’s Buddhist teachings and the two men learn from each other’s beliefs.The story of Barlaam and Joasaph is a retelling of the life of the Buddha, adapted for a Christian audience in the Middle Ages. MacDonald’s book examines the historical and cultural context of the story and analyzes how it reflects the relationship between Christianity and Buddhism during that time period. He also explores the themes of friendship, spiritual growth, and the search for truth that are present in the story.This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion, the intersection of different faiths, or the life and teachings of the Buddha. It provides a thorough analysis of the story of Barlaam and Joasaph, as well as the historical and cultural context in which it was written.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
