In an era marked by religious strife and the rise of extremist ideologies, this work offers a timely call to rediscover the shared roots of humanity’s faiths. By highlighting signs of an emerging “ecumenical age,” it counters both entrenched fundamentalism and widespread disillusionment, affirming that spiritual heritage remains vital for millions worldwide.

Drawing on authoritative texts—the Bhagavad Gita, Dhammapadha, Gathas, Hebrew Bible, Gospels, Qur’án and the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh—Farnaz and Bijan Ma’súmián demonstrate how the lives, characters and teachings of key figures in Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahá’í Faith converge on principles of love, unity and brotherhood. Through rigorous scriptural and historical analysis, they reveal a common foundation that transcends cultural expressions and human interpretations.

Rich in evidence and eloquence, this book is destined to inspire interfaith dialogue and deepen mutual understanding, equipping readers with the knowledge and compassion needed to build a more tolerant, harmonious world.
