Abstract

Christianity and Buddhism are sometimes perceived as antithetical, such that a choice must be made between the fullness (pleroma) of God in Christ (Col. 1:19) and the Buddha's Void (sunyata). However, after surveying the notion of nothingness more generally in philosophy, art and science, the author seeks to establish commonalities between the two religions by drawing out the key role of nothingness within the Christian tradition and the fullness inherent in the concept of sunyata.
