Synopsis "Perennial Wisdom for the Spiritually Independent: Sacred Teachings―Annotated & Explained (Skylight Illuminations) "

The spiritual teachings of many faith traditions can help you step beyond the limits of any one tradition to the reality that can't be named.The fastest growing spiritual movement in the United States today is that of the religiously unaffiliated. These spiritual seekers make up 20 percent of the adult American population; they are the spiritual equivalent of political independents. Refusing to limit themselves to one religion or another, these seekers without borders are open to wisdom wherever it can be found.This is a "bible" for this vast and growing social movement. It weaves sacred texts and teachings from the world's major religions-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and more-into a coherent exploration of the five core questions at the heart of every religion's search: - Who am I? - Where did I come from? - Where am I going? - How shall I live? - Why? It couples these sacred teachings with modern commentary designed to help readers use these texts in their daily lives. It also provides the basics of spiritual mentor Eknath Easwaran's Passage Meditation to help you internalize the texts that articulate your deepest insights and values.

Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar, theologian, and American author born in 1943 in Kansas, United States. He was ordained a priest in 1970 and is recognized for his work in Christian spirituality, mysticism, and personal development from an integrative and contemplative perspective. In 1987, he founded the Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with the purpose of teaching spiritual practices that unify the inner life with social commitment

Rohr has written extensively on topics such as the ego, the soul, love, forgiveness, and spiritual maturity. Among his most well-known works are Everything Belongs, The Naked Now, and Man's Search for Meaning (collective with Viktor Frankl). One of his most influential books is The Soul of Man: A Spirituality for Men, in which he proposes a renewed vision of masculinity from Christian spirituality

He is admired for his ability to bridge the Christian tradition with other spiritual and psychological currents, including perennial wisdom and the integration of suffering into the spiritual path. His message resonates especially among those seeking a deep, authentic, and compassionate faith in the modern world.
