Abstract

This chapter discusses the basic questions: how do Christian and Buddhist views of nature and the cosmos in general and of human nature and personhood more particularly compare and contrast; in what ways has the inclusion of modern science been illuminating for this conversation; and, does a pneumatological approach establish a bridge toward the furthering of religion-science and interreligious dialogues on these topics. It begins by summarizing the findings of parts I and II, noting especially similarities between the two traditions views on creation/nature and human personhood as elicited through the pneumatological framework of inquiry. From this, the chapter attempts a deeper analysis of the Christian-Buddhism-science trialogue by pushing the discussion forward in the direction of what might be called a pneumatological theology of the cosmos and a pneumatological anthropology. The chapter thus is an initial sketch of a philosophy and theology of nature in light of the Christianity-Buddhism-science trialogue.
