Compiled by Whitall N. Perry, this extraordinary anthology draws from an vast constellation of sources — sacred scriptures, mystic poets, theologians, philosophers, and sages spanning thousands of years and dozens of cultures — to present the perennial wisdom that underlies all authentic religious and metaphysical thought. Organized thematically around the great spiritual questions of existence, the work presents teachings from traditions as diverse as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the indigenous wisdom traditions of the world, weaving them into a coherent and luminous tapestry.\n\nPerry's monumental compilation stands as a cornerstone of the Traditionalist or Perennialist school of thought, which argues that beneath the outward diversity of the world's religions lies a single, universal truth — the Philosophia Perennis. His meticulous scholarship and profound reverence for sacred knowledge give the work an authority that is both encyclopaedic and deeply spiritual in character. This is not merely a reference book; it is an invitation to a lifelong contemplation of the deepest questions of human existence — one that leaves the reader forever altered by the sheer breadth and depth of humanity's accumulated wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572475760859,"sku":"2026100008691-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fbbcb03e-6a9e-4e3d-9da4-37d4e9dbf63b.png?v=1791166573","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008691-secondhand-a-treasury-of-traditional-wisdom","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
