Prothero, S: White Buddhist

Prothero, S: White Buddhist


en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2010
Denounced by the New York Times as an “unmitigated rascal” while simultaneously being lauded as a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha himself, Henry Steel Olcott (1832–1907) was friend to Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, and an indefatigable reformer and culture broker between East and West. Olcott helped bring about a new spiritual creation, Protestant Buddhism, a creative creolization of American Protestantism, traditional Theravada Buddhism, and other influences. Stephen Prothero’s portrait of Olcott is an engaging study of spiritual quest and cross-cultural encounters.

Recenzii

"A meticulous story of a very colorful subject. In the process, [Prothero] assists the understanding of religious pluralism in our current age." Church History"The first scholarly biographical study of [this] influential figure; its use of “creolization” theory adds to ongoing conversations about how to understand contact, colonialism, and conversion." Religious Studies Review"An important study of a remarkable 19th-century American." Choice"Prothero’s study should interest not only scholars in the field but students of Asian religions and American religious history generally." Journal of American History"Prothero has succeeded in creating a portrait of Olcott that will shape future scholarship. . . . Engaging and succinct." Gnosis Magazine
