Strong is a philosophical exploration written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the mystical connections and comparable aspects of Christianity and Buddhism, particularly focusing on their ethical, biographical, and metaphysical dimensions. Through a comparative lens, the author seeks to draw parallels between the teachings of Jesus Christ and Gotama Buddha, positing a mutual underlying essence that transcends dogmatic boundaries. The opening of the text sets the stage for this exploration by addressing the challenges faced by individuals who strive to bridge their faith with other belief systems. Strong highlights the prejudices and barriers that arise when adherents of a single faith attempt to acknowledge the holiness present in alternative religious practices. Through vivid descriptions of his experiences with different faith communities, he emphasizes the potential for unity among disparate belief systems by identifying shared ideals, thus advocating for a more inclusive understanding of spirituality. The author introduces the main theme of the text: the quest for common ground between Christianity and Buddhism, which he argues can lead to a greater understanding of universal truths and a more compassionate coexistence among diverse faiths.
