DESCRIPTION

McDaniel offers a reading of world religions that emphasizes not that the truth is one while the paths are many, but that the truths are many and make the world richer. At a deeper level, he asks how are we to understand and deal with the religions, as they present themselves today so ambiguously--both as paths toward and obstacles standing in the way of peace? Placing the worlds religions in the context of the search for personal, global, and cosmic peace, McDaniel gives reasons to believe that Gandhis hope for a different kind of future is possible.
