Popular scholar Ravi Zacharias sets a captivating scene between Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha in the first book of the Conversations with Jesus series.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus would say to Mohammed? Or Buddha? Or Oscar Wilde? Maybe you have a friend who practices another religion or admires a more contemporary figure. Drop in on a conversation between Jesus and some well-known individuals whose search for the meaning of life took them in many directions--and influenced millions. Through dialogue between Christ and Gautama Buddha, Zacharias reveals Jesus' warm, impassioned concern for all people and explores God's true nature.

Ratings and reviews

May your heart overflow with God's love to others around us, As you read this book. the depth of deception that people live in apart from Christ , living with no really meaning of hope, makes me realize how important for me to proclaim God's love, how I live what I say & do.

One of the best works of Ravi is this book. It points out the conflicts in the belief of non-christian eastern religions and assures of fulfilment through the Love of Jesus for the whole of humanity. Praise God. Amen.

This book explains the beliefs of Buddhism and Christianity very well. The differences between both religions and core beliefs. I definitely recommend it to anyone seeking answers to both religions.
