About this book

A collection of essays in which the possibilities of a deeper dialogue, by means of the contemplative traditions of the Abrahamic Faiths is explored. The book expounds an ageless, profound means of overcoming religious hatred and violence and awakening the beauty of unity in diversity.

Reviews

"The wide variety of engagements with mystical love in texts from all three 'Abrahamic' traditions presented here weave a rich tapestry of study and dialogue, offering many fruitful moments of insight into shared foundations." - Oliver Davies, Professor, Christian Doctrine, King's College London, UK
