"The New Story about the Oldest Story in
the World . . ."
Uniting Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, The
Genesis Meditations teaches how early mystics
- including Jesus - may have meditated in all
three great religions springing from the Middle
East. World-known religion scholar and translator
Neil Douglas-Klotz finds that all three faiths,
in spite of apparent differences, share an emphasis
on sacred beginnings. Over the centuries, he
points out, Westerners have progressively lost
this sense, instead emphasizing apocalyptic
endings. Now Dr. Douglas-Klotz seeks to reclaim
the lifeaffirming energy of sacred "beginning
time," so that we can experience its creative
power for ourselves - and perhaps for our world
