A Christian Apologetic To The Doctrine Of Grace In Shin Buddhism, Jeremy Scott Roseman
A Christian Apologetic To The Doctrine Of Grace In Shin Buddhism, Jeremy Scott Roseman
Masters Theses
This thesis offers an apologetic defense on why grace in Shin Buddhism is not comparable to that of Christianity.

An Argument Against The Buddhist Concept Of Dependent Origination Through William Lane Craig’S Kalam Cosmological Argument, James David Lynch

Can Compassionate Practice Also Be Good Legal Practice?: Answers From The Lives Of Buddhist Lawyers, Deborah J. Cantrell
Publications
What does it mean to say that one is a "good lawyer" in the United States? The dominant view is that a lawyer is a zealous advocate owing loyalty to, and taking direction from, the client.

Using the real lives of a group of lawyers across the United States, this article offers rich and nuanced descriptive data about the possibilities of "good lawyering" through compassion, equanimity, and an expanded notion of honesty. This article contributes importantly to the debate about what it means to be a …
