Richard Hooper is a columnist for United Press International and has recently founded the Sedona Institute for Comparative Theology. Visit him and learn about his work and other books at www.religionandspirituality.com. In this multifaith resource, Hooper has gathered parallel sayings from Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and Lao Tzu from 50 ancient religious texts. They are arranged in four separate columns for easy access. This paperback is dedicated to the memory of Eknath Easwaran, one of our favorite interspiritual explorers.
Hooper provides essays to accompany the thematic modules which include the Great Way; the self; the path of renunciation; wisdom and knowledge; love and compassion; karma and reincarnation; death and immortality; enlightenment and liberation. This timely book hurrahs the common sacred ground at the heart of the teachings of these great masters. With quotations from both Eastern and Western perspectives, we are challenged to enrich our own spiritual path with the insights of other traditions.
