Jay Williams' approach to the study of the life of Christ simply overflows with intuitional creativity, permitting students to find for themselves trans-historical, yet new and existential situations in the Biblical story. Buddha means "the Enlightened One," and the author uses this word in the generic sense. He explores the possibility that Yeshua represents a way to enlightenment which is neither Western nor Eastern but universal and perennial, a way often misunderstood by Christian theologians.

All people interested in man's evolutionary struggles will excite over this account of the interaction of a distant and separate people with the great worldly powers. It is a vivid world and picture story of the Jewish people from 538 B.C. to 1,500 A.D. It is not a dray history of dates and bland events, but rather a story of sin, suffering, and the capacity of human beings to endure. Professor Williams, author of the Quest book, Yeshua Buddha, divides his history into four 500 year periods, and for each time period it is a non-Jewish figure, Cyrus, Pompey, Mohommed, Ferdinand, who acts as a punctuation mark.

Based on recently surfaced personal and family papers, Williams presents a biography of American Biblical scholar Robinson (1794-1863). He was a noted philologist and lexicographer but made his name as an explorer and traveler, and in many ways founded the entire field of Biblical archaeology. Only people and places are indexed.

Religion: What It Has Been Beginning with a review of the human needs that all religions seek to fulfill, Dr. Williams traces the world's religions as they evolved through four cultural channels: China, India and South Asia, the Near East, and Europe. The histories of all the great religious traditions-Confucianism, the Greek and Roman pantheons, Judaism and Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, Islam -- evolved through the four great world cultures and often followed empires as they conquered and expanded. Religion: What It Is The various religious traditions are followed down all four cultural streams to contemporary time -- through their confrontations with the Enlightenment, Nietszche ("God is dead!"), Freud, and perhaps most profoundly with Darwin. The fundamentalist and moderate threads of both the Islamic and the Judaeo-Christian fabrics are thoughtfully examined. About the author Jay G. Williams is Walcott Bartlett Professor of Religious Studies and past chair of the departments of religious studies and Asian studies at Hamilton College. He is the author of more than fifteen books and monographs and of many articles in comparative religion.
