Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In bestselling author and former monk Stephen Batchelor's seminal work on our greatest struggle-to become good-he traces the trajectory from the words of the Buddha and Christ, through the writings of Shantideva, Milton, and Pascal, to the poetry of Baudelaire, the fiction of Kafka, and the findings of modern physics and evolutionary biology-to examine who we really are, and to rest in the uncertainty that we may never know.

Review:

Opens the doors of understanding we might not even have known were closed...an illuminating read. (Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism) A moving and timely study of the problem of evil from a Buddhist perspective...highly illuminating. (Library Journal)
