There may be some strong arguments Christians can mount against Buddhism, but you won't find any here, because the "Buddhism" in this book is a straw man, an absurd caricature. Don't waste your money.
J. Isamu Yamamoto's writings of Buddhism are hardly in any way an accurate understanding of what Buddhism is, but rather, a fundamentalist fun-house mirror version of Buddhism.
This book sets up Eastern religions as a series of strawmen and then provides tips for knocking them over. As an manual for Christian evangelical chauvinists it undoubtedly would provide a reassuring read.
As can be gathered from other reviews of this series, I do not condone the erosion of others religious beliefs. That said, Yamamoto is one of the better contributors to this series, and does credit to a calm and detailed delineation of Buddhist,Taoist,Confucian and Shinto beliefs.
4/5 stars
This was a great informational read and compare and contrast between Eastern religions. It was presented in a way that makes readers who are not familiar with the Far East beliefs can understand.
