God of Love
A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
God of Love is Mirabai Starr's passionate and personal exploration of the interconnected wisdom of the three Abrahamic faiths.
She shares an overview of essential teachings, stories of saints and spiritual masters, prophetic calls for peace and justice, and for the first time in print, deeply engaging narratives from her own spiritual experiences. She guides readers to recognise the teachings and practices that unify rather than divide the three religions, and sheds light on the interspiritual perspective, which celebrates the Divine in all paths. It is Mirabai's hope that this book will serve as a reminder that a dedication to loving kindness is the highest expression of faith for all three religions.
'Mirabai Starr takes us out dancing with the One. "God of Love" is a confluence of the currents of Judaism, Islam and Christianity all emptying into the great ocean of Love.' — Ram Dass, Author of Be Here Now
'In a time of division between people, this book which is a masterful blend of research, storytelling, poetry, and memoir is like a sacred magnet, pulling on the spiritual heart of all seekers.' — Elizabeth Lesser, Cofounder, Omega Institute; Author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
MIRABAI STARR is an adjunct professor of philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos. As a teenager, Starr lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community that has honored all the world’s faith traditions since its inception in 1967. At Lama she encountered many of the leading teachers and timeless traditions of diverse spiritual paths: Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, and Native American. This ecumenical experience was formative in the universal quality that has infused her work ever since. Starr is best known to readers for her acclaimed translations of Dark Night of the Soul by John of the Cross, and The Interior Castle and The Book of My Life by Teresa of Avila.
