The Meaning of Life in Five Great Religions (Book review)

Notes: "In an ever smaller world when dialogue between differing viewpoints is increasingly important this promises to be a significant and useful book. It is not a dialogue in itself but a symposium in which scholars of the five great faiths of the world set down their understandings of the meaning and purpose of life. The first chapter, called 'Encounter', by William S. Taylor, is perhaps the most valuable for the general reader. It suggests that the Christian can no longer regard other religions with patronizing condescension and goes on to propose criteria for dialogue between religions. Such dialogue must not be defensive but open, permissive and honest" (p. 71).; Page [35] of this issue incorrectly gives volume number as "VIII" instead of "VII". Correct volume number i.e. VII on front cover.
