Investigating the Dhamma

This book brings together eight essays of Bhikkhu Bodhi, five of which were earlier published in academic journals and volumes, and three not published before. Most of the essays are critical responses to various modern interpretations of the Dhamma that the author considers to be at odds with the Buddha's teachings, in particular as transmitted and interpreted by the Therav½da school of Buddhism. The other essays are in depth discussions of important Buddhist doctrinal terms. While Dhamma Reflections, the previous collection of essays by Bhikkhu Bodhi, contains short essays written for a wide Buddhist readership.
