- Zusatztext
- <span>Jdo Shinsh Buddhism inherited many negative doctrines around womens bodies, which in some early Buddhist texts were presented as an obstacle to rebirth</span><span>, and a hindrance to awakening in general. Beginning with an examination of these doctrines, the book explores Shin teachings and texts, as well as the Japanese context in which they developed, with a focus on women and rebirth in Amidas Pure Land. These doctrines are then compared to similar doctrines in Christianity and used to suggestion fruitful avenues of Christian theological reflection.</span>
