'...It is a serious study in comparative mysticism by one who has not only read but practiced in both traditions. Johnston advances beyond Thomas Merton, to whose memory he dedicates the book, in his sensitive differentiation of Zen and Christian experience. The latter he he interprets chiefly through the passion of love, which is strikingly absent in Zen.'
