Customer Reviews

Excellent, comprehensive, deep, but fascinating read.

If you need a comprehensive overview of spirituality throughout the world, especially with an in-depth treatise of the practice of spirituality in the Judaeo-Christian tradition, this book is a must! It is a compilation of essays by many authors with a detailed bibilography for each chapter. The writing is clear and deeply stimulating. It is, of course, theological in nature, but excellent for the lay person as well as clergy.
