Recenzje

"This is for scholarship to come, which will undoubtedly find, in addition to students, academics, and a wider audience thirsty to understand more about the phenomenon of Jewish Buddhists, great inspiration and solid material in these two pioneering publications." (Mira Niculescu, Journal of Buddhist Ethics, Vol. 28, 2021)

"The book contributes to the emerging field of Asian-German Studies and appeals to scholars of Jewish Studies, German Studies, Orientalism, and Postcolonial Studies." (H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, January 28, 2020)
