Pneumatology and the Christian-Buddhist Dialogue—Does the Spirit Blow Through the Middle Way?

His topics include divine presence in pneumatological perspective, the world and becoming human in East Asian Buddhism, a comparative Christian-Buddhist anthropology, Eastern Orthodoxy and the desert tradition of spirituality, Buddhaghosa and the Theravada tradition of self-renunciation, Pentecostal demonologies and the Asian context, Buddhist traditions of the demonic, and skillful means and the transformation of the middle way.
