Críticas:

"Absolutely brilliant. We have desperately needed Ursula King's kind of dispassionate overview of spirituality. . . . Thank God we have it now." --Phyllis Tickle, author, "The Great Emergence"

"A remarkably wide-ranging book that touches briefly on many aspects of the spiritual life across the world--both our need for spirituality and how we have sought to address that need through nature, science, and the arts." --"Library Journal"

"A unique, valuable, and irreplaceable addition to the literature on spirituality . . . This work will be a classic!" --Mary Evelyn Tucker, visiting professor for social and policy studies, Yale University

"Beautifully written, this is an enlightening book that informs while it gently persuades. Opening many windows onto spiritual experience in our increasingly global culture, it invites the reader to partake and contribute." --Elizabeth Johnson, professor of theology, Fordham University, and author, "She Who Is"

"Spirituality is notoriously hard to define, but King makes a bold attempt, outlining its scope and impact . . . this introduction to spiritualities not based in religious practice is thoughtful and accessible." --"Publishers Weekly"

"[A] very important and interesting new book . . . a wise and illuminating guide." --John F. Haught, research professor, Georgetown University, and author, "God After Darwin"

"What distinguishes Ursula King's search for a spirituality that will respond to global needs is the way she combines both depth and breadth in her search." --Paul F. Knitter, Union Theological Seminary
