The Story of Barlaam and Joasaph: Buddhism and Christianity is a book written by Kenneth S. MacDonald. The book is a retelling of a medieval Christian legend about a prince named Joasaph who is converted to Christianity by a monk named Barlaam. The story is said to have originated from a Buddhist tale about the life of the Buddha, and was adapted by Christian writers in the Middle Ages. The book explores the similarities and differences between Buddhism and Christianity, and how these two religions have influenced each other throughout history. MacDonald provides a detailed analysis of the story, tracing its origins and development, and examining its themes and motifs. The book also includes a translation of the original Greek text, as well as an extensive bibliography for further reading. Overall, The Story of Barlaam and Joasaph: Buddhism and Christianity is a fascinating exploration of the cross-cultural exchange between two of the world's major religions. It offers insights into the ways in which ideas and stories can be adapted and transformed as they travel across different cultures and historical periods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
