A world Bible for our time from Buddhist, Hindu, Confucian, Taoist, Jewish, Christian, Islamic, and primal religion sources!
In this perfect companion to Huston Smith's bestselling The World's Wisdom, Philip Novak distills the most powerful and elegant expressions of the wisdom of humankind.
Eight major traditions unfold through their foundational scriptures, pairing the Vedic hymns, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita with the sayings of the Dhammapada and the Tao Te Ching.
Novak sets the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible alongside the parables of the New Testament and the suras of the Qur'an, tracing the essential doctrines of each living faith.
Across each chapter, these canonical scriptures stand beside mystical reflections, assembling contemplative voices including Shankara, Meister Eckhart, and Jelaluddin Rumi. Authentic, poetic translations of key texts are coupled with insightful introductions and "grace notes."
- Zen Buddhism: Explores seated meditation (zazen) alongside iconic koans, from Bodhidharma's silent transmission to Joshu's radical enigma of Mu.
- Taoist Teachings: Presents Chuang Tzu's parables of the butterfly dream and the wild horse, illustrating Lao Tzu's principles of natural softness, simplicity, and creative letting-be.
- Confucian Teachings: Examines Confucius on the five constant relationships and ritual propriety, paired with Mencius's defense of innate goodness through the child at the well.
- Islamic Teachings: Features the opening Fatihah and hadith traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, offering guidance on charity, kindness toward animals, and the conquest of self.
