The work itself is a comparative source book that brings together teachings, passages, and core ideas from the major sacred texts of the world to illustrate their underlying unity. Rather than focusing on a single tradition, the work places biblical scripture alongside writings from other religious and philosophical systems, emphasizing shared moral principles, spiritual themes, and conceptions of the divine.
