Description: "In looking to other religions, Jones explores some of the ways in which Christianity and Buddhism might learn from each other. While many books deal with specific spiritual practices, Jones looks at the general question of the role of spiritual practice in Christian life, especially from a psychological perspective. His interest in Buddhism puts Jesus and the Buddha in counterpoint. Ultimately, The Mirror of God gives the reader a deeper insight into the social context of spiritual practice as well a providing a mirror to the contemporary culture that surrounds us."--Jacket.
