Description

ABOUT THE BOOK: At first glance 'Of Yahweh and the Buddha' seems to be an amusing 'New Age' fantasy, but there is more. The Paradise Papers can be understood as a revision of the Book of Genesis, rewritten to explore the personalities and emotions of Adam, Eve, Lucifer and Yahweh, as well as leading angels. Intractable questions of Christian theology are presented as human issues and examined through the lens of gentle satire. At the heart of this novella is the tragic love story of Adam and Eve. It is a dark comedy and provides a link to the second novella, White Crows on Morada Lane. But here there is no comedy at all, only heartbreak. The subtitle of this novella is A Karmic Tragedy. The novella explores the nature of awakening from a Buddhist perspective, but a one-sided awakening that results in sorrow not enlightenment. Both novellas deal with the spirit and the heart, but in different ways. Like Adam and Eve, Jack and Nita are doomed in their love. White Crows ends with recollections of a previous life in which Nita and Jack came to understand the rich complexities of commitment. These novellas offer striking contrasts, including time, memory, and the fundamental nature of religion, and at a deeper level karmic destiny and the character of love itself. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After an undergraduate degree from Oberlin, John Lankford served as assistant to a member of Congress. Returning to the academy, he earned masters and doctoral degrees at the University of Wisconsin and then spent a year as a post-doctoral fellow at the Union Theological Seminary in New York City. His professorial career spanned more than thirty years, including appointments at four academic institutions. After leaving the classroom he acted as assistant to the Provost at Kansas State University. Taking early retirement, Lankford settled in the high desert of Northern New Mexico. Lankford devotes his time to writing and community service, including teaching astronomy to elementary school students. A practicing Buddhist, he is active in the affairs of Taos Mountain Sangha and sits a Buddhist meditation retreat for the month of April each year. After five books and forty-plus articles in the history of religion, higher education and modern science, Lankford turned to fiction. "Who Sleeps Beneath the Rocks?" and its sequel "Hide in Plain Sight" were published by James A. Rock & Company in 2008 and draw on years of hiking, camping and river running in the Canyonlands of Utah. "Of Yahweh and the Buddha" is Lankford's second novel with Rock & Co.
