The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity - Arthur Lillie - Bog

The book ""The Influence of Buddhism on Primitive Christianity"" by Arthur Lillie explores the potential connections between the early Christian movement and the Buddhist tradition. Lillie argues that there are several similarities between the two religions, such as their emphasis on compassion, non-violence, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment.
