³ Edmunds, I, 198 ff.; also Pischel, Leben und Lehre des Buddha, p. 26 f., denies the connection in this instance. Similarly Götz, "Der Katholik" 1912 (IV, 9), 485 ff.; Beth, Theolog. Studien und Kritiken 1916, 202 ff.; Carpenter, Buddhism and Christianity, p. 180; and E. Leumann, Buddha und Mahāvīra, reprinted from ZB 1921, p. 60 ff. On the other hand, Garbe, loc. cit., 50 ff., regards the points of agreement as so striking, that he deems it necessary to trace the Gospel narrative back to the Buddhist temptation stories, "for a devil in the flesh does not appear anywhere else in the Bible, but occurs constantly in the Buddhist Canon." Cf. J. Charpentier in ZDMG 69, 1915, 441 f.
