Today we live in a world where it is impossible to ignore the presence of differing religious perspectives, especially when we see an unprecedented and sometimes violent confrontation of religions. How should we view religions that are different from our own? The question of the spiritual value of foreign forms, as well as of the attitude that we should have toward other religions has become a burning one in a world where everything is open to discussion and even doubt. Spanning more than eight decades, these 23 fascinating articles include contributions from René Guénon, Frithjof Schuon and Marco Pallis, as well as a range of other scholars, theologians and commentators concerned with the modern encounter of religions. In addition, the book contains personal accounts from some remarkable individuals who have taken up the challenge of entering into foreign spiritual worlds. It is the first work in a new series called Studies in Comparative Religion.
