Book Review:
Marriage: Christian – Buddhist Encounter by G. P. V. Somaratna examines the concept of marriage from both Christian and Buddhist perspectives. Published by the Colombo Theological Seminary (CTS), a centre for Christian research and education serving Sri Lanka and South Asia, this work explores religious understandings, rituals, ethical responsibilities, and social implications of marriage within two major faith traditions. CTS, founded in 1994 on principles of evangelical ecumenism, has trained over 120 graduates and produced several landmark theological publications. This book is a valuable resource for theologians, interfaith dialogue practitioners, seminarians, and anyone interested in comparative religious studies or the intersection of faith and family life.
