The
Genesis Meditations:
A Shared
Practice of Peace for Christians, Jews and Muslims
by Neil
Douglas-Klotz
"The
New Story about the Oldest Story in the World . . ."
Uniting Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam, The Genesis Meditations teaches how early mystics -
including Jesus - may have meditated in all three great religions
springing from the Middle East. World-known religion scholar and
translator Neil Douglas-Klotz finds that all three faiths, in spite
of apparent differences, share an emphasis on sacred beginnings.
Over the centuries, he points out, Westerners have progressively
lost this sense, instead emphasizing apocalyptic endings. Now Dr.
Douglas-Klotz seeks to reclaim the lifeaffirming energy of sacred "beginning
time," so that we can experience
its creative power for ourselves - and perhaps for our world.
