\"\"<\/a>The Carl W. Zeigler Professor of Religion, Philosophy, and Asian Studies at Elizabethtown College, Jeffery D. Long has signed a contract with Routledge to write a book on the Buddha. Expected to be published in early 2024, Long\u2019s upcoming publication, \u201cThe Buddha: A Perennial Voice for Nonviolence,\u201d will be part of the Routledge Peacemaker series.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This book will focus on the Buddha as a peacemaker, a voice for nonviolence. His message, though ancient, is as relevant today as it was when he first proclaimed it 2500 years ago: that we can only find true happiness when we practice compassion for all beings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was honored to be invited to write a book on the Buddha,\u201d Long said. \u201cMost of my published writing has been about the Hindu and Jain traditions. I am excited to write about the Buddha, as I have been teaching courses on Buddhism for the last 25 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Long has authored five books and has edited or co-edited five more. His most recent publication, \u201cHinduism in America: A Convergence of Worlds,\u201d was released in August 2020 and detailed the history of the Hindu community in America, as well as the influence of Hinduism on American popular culture, from the Beatles to <\/span>Star Wars<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
