A groundbreaking spiritual conversation that invites you to step beyond the limits of any one faith into a global spirituality. The World Wisdom Bible is a global spiritual conversation about the nature of life and how best to live it. Drawing on ancient and timeless texts from Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and Taoism, this compendium of sacred texts juxtaposes seemingly divergent teachings to create a spiritual collage of wisdom that crosses religious boundaries, and invites the reader to step beyond the limits of any one faith into a global spirituality. Organized by themes-The Absolute, Justice, Wisdom, Compassion, Spiritual Practice, Ethical Living, and more-The World Wisdom Bible is more than an anthology of diverse teachings; it is a new scripture for those who describe themselves as spiritual independents, spiritual but not religious, and nones. Where conventional Bibles and scriptures speak to believers of one religion or another, The World Wisdom Bible speaks to seekers of every faith and none.

5.0 out of 5 stars Belief and acceptance in one volumeReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 28 June 2019

Religion is based on belief and acceptance. Rami Shapiro has gathered excerpts of ancient writings for us to ponder; not to push an agenda. I applaud his talent. He has an ability to clearly present a variety of beliefs that are thousands of years old. This variety has some common elements that he enables us to see for ourselves. Try to accept his wisdom; there is too much rejection in the world today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Religion without dogmaReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 12 December 2017

I have traveled the world as an airline pilot for thirty years and am so excited to have found this inspiring bible. We need to accept all major religions as guides for learning spiritual values, compassion and love for all creation. I will be purchasing several bibles for relatives and friends. I have almost finished the book and will find it a very close companion in my journey for a richer more meaningful life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-ReadReviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 1 July 2017

I've become familiar with the wisdom of Rabbi Shapiro from a spirituality-oriented magazine. I'm glad I purchased this book. It's extremely well put together with a great deal of potential insight for all truth seekers. There's no emphasis on any particular religion... just a presentation of the 'wisdom' underlying all the major thought systems on man's origin and meaning. Well worth the cost!

I’ve been looking for a devotional that draws from all the worlds wisdom traditions for a very long time. I was thrilled to find this book. If you are dedicated to one religious path - then this book may not be for you. This bible is for those who expand and include all the ways God can be expressed and conceived. Thank you Rabbi Rami
