This two-volume set presents a commanding survey of global religious thought through primary sacred texts. Volume I assembles foundational writings from Confucianism, Judaism, and early Christianity, illustrating moral philosophy, covenantal law, and spiritual doctrine that shaped Eastern and Western civilisations. Volume II continues with Christian texts alongside selections from Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, offering readers direct engagement with teachings on suffering, transcendence, divine order, and prophetic revelation. Eliot’s editorial structure underscores the universal search for meaning and ethical guidance, positioning these texts not as relics but as enduring sources of wisdom.
