The book explores the legacies of four influential religious figures: Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, and Muhammad. It offers concise biographies highlighting key life events, personal spirituality, and the circumstances of their deaths. The authors analyze each figure's teachings through the lens of major spiritual dimensions—nature, society, the self, and divinity—while also tracing the evolution of their respective religious traditions posthumously. This comparative approach provides insights into enduring spiritual issues and the unique perspectives of each thinker.

This book suggests how we ought to live with God. Such a venture is bold, perhaps even overweeening.
