Unity and World Religions

"The spiritual principles taught in Unity are ancient ideas that run like a thread through most of the world's religions. Indeed, they have been called the golden thread or Perennial Philosophy. In this book, longtime Unity minister Paul John Roach connects the dots between Unity teachings and the tenets of the world's religions. He elaborates on the 5 universal principles taught in Unity and shows how they are expressed through other faith traditions. Even for people who are not in Unity, each chapter is a crash course in the basic elements of each religion. Roach includes Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, and Christianity to compare to Unity. He also includes smaller traditions such as Sufism and Zoroastrianism and acknowledges lesser-known groups, even including Dudeism, based on the movie The Big Lebowski. ("The dude abides.") Most sections include extensive quotes from the luminaries of each tradition. This book is a treasure trove of ideas and stories about the many ways human beings have found to relate to the Presence we all feel"--
