Most of us, alas, have too little opportunity for profound exposure to these others. But some there are who can help us—because they have left the familiar homeland of the once-Christian West and lived in the ‘borderland’ between Christianity and another sincere faith. Among the latter, Notto Thelle seems to me an extraordinarily insightful guide and pioneer. His very readable book is not a theoretical study of the relation between Buddhism and Christianity, but a lived experience and dialogue. It should be required reading for students of theology—and indeed for all serious Christians.Douglas John Hall, CM, ThD   Emeritus Professor of Christian Theology   McGill University, Montreal, Canada\u003cbr\u003eNotto Thelle's Who Can Stop the Wind? is a Christian’s theological engagement with the truth and power of religious pluralism. He dialogically engages with this pluralism, mostly in Japanese Zen Buddhist forms, that both affirms the depth of non-Christian Ways as he 'passes beyond dialogue' to a renewed understanding and appreciation of the depth of the Christian Way. In the process, he becomes a model for the possibilities of creative transformation in a religious world that is true to the deepest insights and experiences of Christian faith as well as non-Christian faith and experience.Paul O.
