Description
"Surveys the understanding and practice of prayer in Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, African and Native American faiths. The authors provide a succinct yet comprehensive treatment of prayer in these religious traditions. The Carmodys' introduction examines the relevance of prayer to current interfaith understanding, dialogue, and spiritual life. In separate chapters, the authors provide an historical context and then describe typical rituals, stories, and prayers for each tradition. They offer in each case an appreciation of these traditions from a Christian perspective, and discuss the uniqueness and significance of prayer within them"--Back cover.
