In Search of the Christian Buddha explores the transformation of the Buddha's story into the legend of St. Josaphat, a prince who renounces his wealth to follow Jesus. This widely circulated tale, prevalent in the Middle Ages and even referenced by Shakespeare, highlights the intricate journey of the Buddha's narrative across cultures, from India to Europe. The book examines how Muslim, Jewish, and Christian writers reinterpreted this story, revealing significant similarities and differences in beliefs about death, desire, and the role of women in both traditions.
