Four Testaments brings together four foundational texts from world
religions—the Tao Te Ching, Dhammapada, Analects of Confucius, and
Bhagavad Gita—inviting readers to experience them in full, to
explore possible points of connection and divergence, and to better
understand people who practice these traditions. Following Brian
Arthur Brown’s award-winning Three Testaments: Torah, Gospel, Quran,
this volume of Four Testaments features essays by esteemed scholars to
introduce readers to each tradition and text, as well as commentary on
unexpected ways the ancient Zoroastrian tradition might connect
Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Hinduism, as well as the Abrahamic
faiths. Four Testaments aims to foster deeper religious understanding
in our interconnected and contentious world.
