Synopsis:

This book covers three distinct strands of thought: (1) Introduces a new topic: The religious process in human history (2) A view of: The spiritual and secular content of religions (3) And not its least aspect: A book of the spiritual quest In both concept and content Fragments of the Whole was stunningly new when it was first written in 1986 and remains so over thirty years later in this fresh presentation. It was the author s hope that this work would not only increase respect for others religions, but also make one more aware of the riches and potentialities in one s own. The thesis of each book is: Book One. The Process. All religions undergo the same growth process. Book Two. Universal Theology. All developed religions have the same essential theology. Book Three. The Open Door. The purpose and goal of all religions is the experience of God. God never ends His revelation From a flower to a saint His love ever blooms afresh for mankind (From Book Two, entry 18) This is not the work of a scholar which would only explore the errors of history, as the scholar's data is only the material of history. This is the work of a poet using the visionary aspect to unravel the confusion of history. The purposes of this book are to: Help understanding and refining of everyone's own religion. Help understanding of and develop respect for all religions including one's own. Reinforce everyone's spiritual life and growth. Clarify the problems and delusions common to all religions. Remind all of the true meaning and experience of life. It is my hope that everyone reading this will have a greater appreciation and regard for his/her own religion as well as that of others. This should not only increase respect for others' religions, but also make one more aware of the riches and potentialities in one's own. It may also help in better balancing life, both individual and social, and aiding progress towards the spiritual. ________ The dimension where all are harmonized is within God Himself, within His Love, His Grace, His forgiveness and His Being. In that there is unity. Outside that there is diversity. Let us accept our differences as a function of this realm of diversity as we accept our unity in God.
