Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction, Prof. Lopez's new book tells the story of the dramatic journey of Buddhism across the globe, from 2,500 years ago to the present day...

Drawing on the latest scholarship to construct a detailed and innovative history of Buddhism, this single-volume work provides insights on questions that Buddhism has asked and answered in different times and different places—about apocalypse, art, identity, immortality, law, nation, persecution, philosophy, science, sex, war, and writing.
