Religion: Bane or Blessing
by Charles W. Meister
Category: Religion

The paradox of religion is that it is at once responsible for both the highest achievements and the cruellest inhumanity in human history. How can we understand this enigma? Divisive religion separates person from person, and sometimes people from God. On the other hand, unitive religion has produced unparalleled heights of love, compassion, and forgiveness. This book is dedicated to encouraging and advancing dialogue among people of diverse and sometimes seemingly incompatible belief systems. If we can do this, we can improve the lives of all people and bring greater peace to the planet.
