Way of All the Earth

<p>Reflections on the common experiences of man as they are revealed in the writings of the Hindu-Buddhist Islamic and Christian traditions. In this inter-religious dialogue John Dunne shifts his standpoint to reach a sympathetic understanding of the essential message of the Eastern religions and then returns with new insight into Christianity. Through an examination of figures in various religions including Gotama Mohammed and Gandhi Dunne explores the possibilities of companionship with God.</p><p>The holy man of our time it seems is not a figure like Gotama or Jesus or Mohammed a man who could found a world religion but a figure like Gandhi a man who passes over by sympathetic understanding from his own religion to other religions and comes back again with new insight to his own. Passing over and coming back it seems is the spiritual adventure of our time. It is the adventure I want to undertake and describe in this book.--from the Preface</p>
