In a groundbreaking comparison between the
Biblical and Hindu traditions, Reaching Beyond the Religious
reveals a wisdom that transcends time, culture, and creed,
and which has the power to transform the way we think about
religion in the 21st century. Taking issue with New Age
concepts such as The Secret and the idea that we can create
our destinies by tapping into the power of our intentions,
the book flips the paradigm on its head and challenges our
basic assumptions about the world, God, and the human
enterprise. Moving between mythology and reality,
East and West, the book unearths seven universal wisdom
themes from across the religious spectrum and maps these
onto the complexities of modern day life. It covers topics
from Genesis, Job, and the Hindu god, Shiva, to the dramatic
Presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama;
from the life stories of Biblical patriarchs and Hindu icons
to those of contemporary greats such as J.K. Rowling, Oprah
Winfrey, and Warren Buffett. It charts the teachings of the
past into the present while exploring humankind's most
pressing and difficult questions. Supported by compelling
examples taken from nature, pop culture, and religious text;
prepare to be enlightened, entertained, and inspired by
Reaching Beyond the Religious.
