Industry Reviews

"This collection ... offers a rich, detailed trove of information from around the world on the contemplative practices and literatures of meditation and prayer ... The volume will be an excellent resource for libraries supporting seminary and religious studies programs ... Highly recommended." - CHOICE

"We have not seen anything this bold and this global since Friedrich Heiler wrote his classic study on the typology of prayer over eighty years ago. Komjathy and his essayists have vastly expanded the scope, depth, and sophistication of this project here. In the process, they have struggled with all of the critical questions around religious pluralism, tradition, and religious authority, and have emboldened the comparative project itself. Contemplation and comparison, it turns out, go very well together." - Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of Comparing Religions: Coming to Terms

"Teachers and scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers interested in contemplative practice will cherish a book like this. I'm happy that Louis Komjathy has done this great work. It will undoubtedly be hailed as a milestone." - Ruben L. F. Habito, author of Healing Breath: Zen for Christians and Buddhists in a Wounded World
