Living Religions of the World (Library of Liberal Religion)

"Our Search for Meaning" is both reliable and readable, an excellent combination commending it to students and educated laymen alike. The living faiths, offering real alternatives in a world grown small and compelling every thinking person to make a personal choice, are presented with sympathy and scholarship. There is a fine concluding summary of the major issues of conscience and decision in a generation which displays an upsurge of religious interest frequently along non-traditional paths. Dr Voss' important scholarly work has always been marked by extraordinary sensitivity combined with wide erudition. This marvellous book shows his many admirers anew how our common search for meaning finds distinct but complementary expression in the major religions of the world. A lifetime of scholarly reflection renders his book an enriching experience for us all.
