A part-Thai Australian Pentecostal pastor has written this book to encourage the evangelisation of Buddhists especially in Thailand.
The frequent use of Thai, Pali and Sanskrit words might give the impression that it is a serious academic text, but really it is a popular treatment of a bold Christian approach to Buddhism, arguing that the Christian gospel has a clear answer to the impossibility of a sinless life that is presented in that faith as the only escape from endless reincarnations.
