[P.D. Gourlais · Rating 5 out of 5]

As a fledgling philosopher, this book exposed me to opposing viewpoints. It set me on my path to think critically about many pathways to the Universe or God. At the time I began this book, I was becoming a budding Buddhist as well as deepening my experience in Jewish culture and philosophy. To aid my quest, I kept a journal of my thoughts, insights, inquires and realizations. I attest that this book assisted me in living in a better way as I started to construct my own life philosophy! A good read no matter where you're at on your spiritual path.

Very informative to have such a diverse group of viewpoints side by side.
