Alan Little added these pithy words on 17 May 08 at 8:18 amThe huge error near the beginning, where the Ashoka Buddhist period in India is completely missed out, doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the rest
von Kaufman-Turkestansky added these pithy words on 17 May 08 at 8:53 pmThis one seems incomplete. Doesn’t do it for me.
Curzon added these pithy words on 18 May 08 at 12:01 pmPersonally, I would like to know the basis of the pockmarked expansion of Christianity across Europe before it became the religion of the Roman Empire.
Lexington Green added these pithy words on 18 May 08 at 5:43 pm“...pockmarked expansion of Christianity…” It started out as an urban phenomenon. It reached the countryside late. “Pagan” comes from “pagani”, meaning peasant. Rodney Stark has a couple of books that touch on this.
I agree that the maps lack nuance. I would like to have seen Atheism as a phenomenon depicted, either the totalitarian or the postmodern liberal version. It would dominate the top of the page.
Michael added these pithy words on 19 May 08 at 11:21 pmAny recommendations on books about Hindu/Buddhist relations? I’m kinda curious how the replacement of one with the other took place—was it conquest, conversion or some other process?
R. Elgin added these pithy words on 21 May 08 at 5:12 amThey lump Korea into Buddhism, which today it is about half Christian. This does not look very accurate at all; It is not enough.
