Ursula King views the subject of spirituality through a wide scope ("Global Quest") and focuses her considerations squarely on the present life-situation. Not an exclusively Christian orientation, King is interested in exploring how the common spiritual impulse is revealing itself in its myriad manifestations today. Hence,chapters are given to "Spirituality in a Global World" and "Spirituality and Interfaith Dialogue." Chapters on spirituality as it relates to education and health, gender, nature and science, and the arts and the planet are also treated--all with great sensitivity and understanding. A wonderful bibliography with individual book descriptions makes this little book a treasure trove for further study.
