About this guide

Billions of people pray, meditate, fast and gather under different names and rules — yet the great traditions keep pointing toward something greater than ourselves, compassion, and how we treat each other. A clear, respectful guide across many paths.

More about this guide

It gives a short, fair overview of the world’s faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam; Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism; Taoism, Confucianism and Shinto; and indigenous and pagan traditions. It then looks at the faiths and thinkers who see one truth behind them all, and the threads they share.

It is honest about where the faiths truly disagree and what scholars say about the universalist idea, and ends with ideas for respectful curiosity in everyday life.
