Empowering the Lonely Crowd Pope John Paul Ii, Lonergan and Japanese Buddhism

In Empowering the Lonely Crowd, John Raymaker simplifies and extends arguments made in his previous book, A Buddhist-Christian Logic of the Heart, in particular the notion of a spiritual genome. Raymaker explores and compares John Paul II and Lonergan's thought in relation to (Japanese) Buddhism, concluding that while all life has a coded genome, all humans have a free, uncoded spiritual genome that is a viable alternative to postmodern scepticism.Raymaker, John is the author of 'Empowering the Lonely Crowd Pope John Paul Ii, Lonergan and Japanese Buddhism', published 2003 under ISBN 9780761826941 and ISBN 0761826947.
