This anthology of interfaith articles, essays and resources has a multi-fold mission: First off, it is a well-presented primer, introducing readers to 20 of the world's religions and spiritual beliefs (including Hinduism, Christianity, African Traditional Religion, Taoism, Wicca and Nature Spirituality). Secondly, this carefully edited collection offers suggestions for becoming a more unified community that tolerates and respects the diversity of spiritual beliefs on the planet. Finally, it addresses the common ground amid all this diversity, such as respect for human rights, environmental responsibility and creating a culture of peace.
Although the material is heady (essay titles include "Scared Community at the Dawn of the Second Axial Age" and "Objectives of the 1893 World Parliament of Religions"), the essays are mostly written by accessible writers, such as Wayne Teasdale and Thomas Keating. Also, the editor Joel Beversluis offers excellent introductions to each submission, grounding readers in plenty of background, context and insider's information. --Gail Hudson
