Four traditions, one spirit

the long version

This book is about hope. At a time when so much national and worldwide violence seems rooted in all kinds of religious insensibilities, this book reminds us that our great western spiritual traditions have much more in common than they do in conflict. The author persuasively suggests that, at a deep spiritual level, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Native American traditions all bear witness to a common human longing for love, compassion and justice, rooted in a mysterious yet benevolent God, Yahweh, Allah, and Great Mystery.
