Or. Marcus Braybrooke, Joint-President of the World Congress of Faiths and author of \"Widening Vision: The World Congress of Faiths and the Growing Interfaith Movement.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDo you find yourself wondering what the similarities and differences are among the major world religions? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is everyone fighting over? Is there really a reason to fight? With the guidance from this book, you'll find it easy to walk up the pathways of the described religions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will be amazed, with each chapter, as you grow to understand the origins of these key religions and see their core commonalities. Dr. Fernando has a fascinating background; his path to the priesthood began at 9 years old. His life experiences led him to study Catholicism, Protestant religions, and Buddhism. He passionately teaches and embraces similarities while encouraging his students to use a common language to discuss and refine their understanding of global religions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis journey has taken him from priest to scholar-husband-professor and visionary. You are guided through \u003cb\u003eHinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam\u003c\/b\u003e as Dr. Fernando introduces the cultural and historical traditions which shaped the faiths of antiquity into the modern religions we see today. He explores the distinction between being \u003ci\u003eborn into a religion\u003c\/i\u003e versus being \u003ci\u003eawakened to a religion\u003c\/i\u003e. This awareness helps those who are racially and religiously different to build bridges to understanding and acceptance. The \"uni-cultural\" ancient religions and the modern, multi-national religions of the present day are, in fact, tied together by a common history and foundation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs there really a reason anymore to fight?
