IN QUEST OF THE SACRED:
THE MODERN WORLD IN THE LIGHT OF TRADITION

Edited by Seyyed Hossein Nasr and Katherine 0'Brien

Book Cover (29573 bytes)A compelling collection of essays by many of the leading voices in the field of traditional studies, this book examines the major aspects of religion and modem society. Contributors include Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Huston Smith, Martin Lings, Joseph Epes Brown, Gai Eaton, and Rama Coomaraswamy on such topics as modernism, science, liberation theology, Native American art, psychology and astrology. Much more than the usual academic anthology, this excellent collection is proof of the contemporary, therapeutic importance of the perennial wisdom and will greatly benefit those in quest of the rediscovery of the sacred in human life.

"This is an excellent introduction for those new to traditional studies, while the seasoned reader will find much worth pondering."
