“One River, Many Wells” by Matthew Fox, 2004.

For those interested in exploring the spiritual teachings of many faith traditions, this book is a “must read”. The premise of the book is that there is a universal spiritual wisdom common to all traditions which is represented by the river, into which peoples over the millennia from different cultures have sunk wells.

Fox draws on the Scriptures, poetry and other writings from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and the indigenous traditions to explore how humanity has understood and tried to explain its relationship to divinity, creation and each other. He encourages the reader to explore their own understanding of these relationships, to reimagine “God” and to develop a spiritual warrior mentality and heart. He concludes the book with 18 new myths and visions that will inspire readers to embrace deep ecumenism.
