' The book uses some of the categories of Whitehead's process metaphysics to analyse contemporary Buddhist-Christian dialogue and this dialogue's encounter with the natural sciences. (...) Some of the most useful and useable features of the book are the author's summaries and clarifications of his use of the terms and ideas he discusses. 'Peggy Morgan in Journal of Contemporary Religion, Vol. 27, Issue 3"...[Paul O. Ingram's] discussion on the structure of Buddhist and Christian social engagement is illuminating... [...] Professor Ingram has shown a practical process of Buddhist- Christian dialogue; concerned readers and students will find this book greatly useful..." Daniel Jeyaraj, Theological book review, Vol. 24, No 2, 2012.This work makes a highly significant contribution to Buddhist-Christian dialogue [...] Many of the ideas of process thought are well worth saying, and Ingram says them well enough. Perhaps we can all learn from the insights of process thought as it takes its place as a dialogical partner.Barry Linney, Reviews in Religion & Theology, vol 22, issues 1, January 2015
