Does anyone have a book recommendation for taking a brief (please) look at the wisdom/truths in the other major religions of the world?
I come from a conservative, evangelical background where all other religions were considered to be either cults or false. But since my move to PC, I've become more openminded and would like to get an overview of the similarities of other religions to the teachings of Jesus.
Any recommendations anyone?
Thanks.

Well you might like the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh... I have read "Living Buddha, Living Christ"... and it was a wonderful book... While it is not a textbook or a synopsis of Buddhism... It is still really good... He draws parallels between the 2 faiths... and gives ideas on how to encorporate some buddhist practices into the christian faith...
He is very respectful of Jesus and looks to him as one of his teachers or prophets...
Book On Major Religions?
in Other Wisdom Traditions
