Reflections on the common experiences of man as they are revealed in the writings of the Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic, and Christian traditions. In this inter-religious dialogue John Dunne shifts his standpoint to reach a sympathetic understanding of the essential message of the Eastern religions and then returns with new insight into Christianity. Through an examination of figures in various religions, including Gotama, Mohammed, and Gandhi, Dunne explores the possibilities of companionship with God. "The holy man of our time, it seems, is not a figure like Gotama or Jesus or Mohammed, a man who could found a world religion, but a figure like Gandhi, a man who passes over by sympathetic understanding from his own religion to other religions and comes back again with new insight to his own. Passing over and coming back, it seems, is the spiritual adventure of our time. It is the adventure I want to undertake and describe in this book."from the Preface

[This book is] Dunnes sensitive exploration of passing over, the process whereby an individual crosses sympathetically from his own religion to another and returns with increased understanding of his personal faith. Dunnes own literary odyssey leads him to conclude that all religions are based on common experiences. The need for passing over is even more vital now than when Dunne wrote the book in 1972. The Christian Century . . . a theological achievement of the first order. Library Journal There is not another thinkerreligious or secularlike Dunne. He brings to a too literal age the seers gift for uncovering the connections between our existing approaches to knowledge. Martin Marty
