This intriguing work explores the differences between religious traditions in how they answer questions we all ask: about the existence of God, the search for meaning, living, and dying.
Offers a unique and inspiring way to think about religions and even one’s own religion in light of the religious plurality that exists today. Looks at various religious/spiritual topics (Who is God? Who am I? How might I find and serve God? etc.) and then draws on and reflects particularly interesting ideas and practices from various religions.
“Now and then comes a book that enriches not only the mind but also nourishes the heart: Wisdom from the World’s Religions is such a one. Drawing on his three-decade-long study and teaching of world religions, Dr. Feldmeier distills their wisdom and insight, without syncretism but preserving their distinctive differences, to guide our living in a world sadly torn by divisions. Reading his book will transform us.”—Peter Phan, author, The Joy of Religious Pluralism
Peter Feldmeier is professor of Catholic studies at the University of Toledo, OH, and author of numerous books including Encounters in Faith: Christianity in Interreligious Dialogue and Experiments in Buddhist-Christian Encounter: From Buddha-Nature to the Divine Nature.
