Divine Educators

by Farnaz and Bijan Ma'sumian

In writing Divine Educators, Farnaz and Bijan Ma’súmián have been not only spurred on by the current crisis in religious prejudice, but also encouraged by the increasing realization that despite diverse, sometimes conflicting, cultural expressions and human interpretations, all the great religious traditions of the world share a common foundation that fosters love, unity, and brotherhood.

This book provides scriptural and historical evidence for commonalities in the lives, characters, and teachings of the central figures of seven world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Bahá’í Faith, from the sources of each religious tradition, including the Bhagavad Gita, the Dhammapadha, the Gathas, the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels, the Qur’án and the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh. It is bound to generate interest in the subject and further the cause of interfaith dialogue and understanding throughout the world.
