Description

As the spice maker’s cabinet is full of many herbs, so should a scholar be
full of Scripture, Talmud, and Legend—an ancient Jewish proverb This
reference to legend—or the teaching tales used by the sages—is a remarkable
testimony to the power of story and its place in the history, development,
and culture of a people. Legends have helped people understand one another,
and offer a context for utilizing ancient beliefs in new ways. A Common
Ground is an eclectic volume of the greatest legends of the world including
those from Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and more, along with a
discussion on why these stories still matter today. The tales featured
demonstrate how seemingly disparate beliefs share common ideas and concerns
that are more similar than they are different, helping readers to see the
world around them with a fresh perspective. These stories and parables
attributed to saints and sages will offer inspiration for those who desire
to live a life of generosity, understanding, and hope. As the book brings
together the most marvelous teachings of the world’s great faiths, readers
will discover new points of conversation and understanding. Likewise, this
collection of stories from voices as diverse as Tolstoy and Lao Tzu, from
Buddha to Jesus, create a beautiful tapestry of teaching that can be
applied to contemporary problems and personal choices
