“Zen Spirit, Christian Spirit… is a worthy successor to D. T. Suzuki’s Mysticism: Christian and Buddhist and other important works in the ecumenical mystical tradition. With its wealth of wonderful quotations, Fr. Kennedy Sensei’s fine warm book makes an especially valuable contribution.”

'Kennedy shows other Christians a way of integrating Zen Buddhism and Christian belief. He does this convincingly and gracefully... by weaving together Zen poetry and koans, Western poetry and literature, scriptural texts and personal experience.' --National Catholic Reporter.
