Professor Bushrui calls for interfaith dialogue and focuses on some of the timeless shared values of many of the world's religions-- such as love, selflessness, and generosity-- but also delves into how these values can be applied to the many conflicts and crises facing the world today. Covering such topics as education, globalization, peace, and the environment, Professor Bushrui evokes the timeless wisdom of the world's religions as well as the voices of the poets and scholars of the past, addressing his subject matter at the level of high principle and universal values. The result is a deeply moving and thought-provoking call to humanity to place the human spirit at the heart of the discourse concerning the vital issues of our time.
