The parallelisms between the Buddhistic and Christian religions are very striking."- Herald- Advocate, Salem.
"The book is misnamed. Buddha was a noble character ; but he taught no Gospel. There is one Gospel, and one only, the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."- The Christian Standard, Sincinnati, O.
"The Gospel of Buddha is an excellent compilation. ... Dr. Carus deserves the thanks of all readers for his painstaking in the preparation of a work so intelligible, so instructive, so practically helpful."-Cumberland Presbyterian, Lebanon, Tenn.
"The Truth as taught in The Gospel of Buddha has no taint of church or creed. Every house in the land would be the better if a copy of this book was accessible to the children. Paul Carus has given us a valuable book."--Fibre and Fabric, Boston.
"The work is one which should be found on the table of every Christian. ...A great boon to all Christian as well as Buddhist students. . . . Complete, attractive, highly intelligible, and so useful as a work of reference."-Washington Educational Review, Tacoma.
"It is the author's avowed purpose to reconstruct his material from 'religio-philosophical' point of view, as embodying, in common with Christianity, the elements of the cosmic religion of truth,' which is, apparently, the religion of Dr. Carus."--The Watchman, Boston.
"One is tempted at times to believe that some of the facts in the life of Christ on earth are corrupted to fit this religion.. Compared with the Gospel of Christ, this story is as water unto wine, as a dim candle by the full-orbed sun."- The Christian Guide, Louisville.
"The best book on the life and doctrines of Buddha. ... It would be a good thing if all missionaries preparing for work in Buddhist countries would allow Dr. Carus in this book to introduce them to Buddhism."- The Tibetan, Organ of the Mission Union, Toronto, Canada.
"A careful reading of it cannot but broaden one's thought and produce spiritual reflexion.... Though many of his [Buddha's] sayings are almost identical with those of the Christ, yet it cannot be compared with His Gospel. ... Should be read by every student interested in religion."--The Northwestern, Evanston, Ill
