THIS BOOK EXPRESSES THE NEW AND truly ecumenical religious conscious which is forming as the twentieth century draws to a close

in the past each of the great world faiths has been itself either as the only true religion or at least as unique superior to all others .but the true alternative possibility that is focused in this book is that the major religious traditions constitute different lenses through which the ultimate is humanity perceived in different ways and that within each of them the transformation of human existence from self -centeredness is independently taking place.
