Examines the profound teachings of beloved texts of Jewish life from the standpoints of other religious and philosophical systems. This book analyzes the teachings contained within Pirkei Avot in relation to similar or parallel teachings from Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism.
The author of this unique volume, Dr. Ronald W. Pies is a psychiatrist with a long-standing inerest in Jewish thought. Readers will surely note Dr. Pies''s efforts to connect the teachings found within Pirkei Avot with the larger fabric of psychology, philosophy, and literature. While Pirkei Avot is a unique and specific expression of Judaic values, it is nevertheless true that the world''s great religions often resonate with the values found within them. In some instances, this may reflect a direct historical/cultural interaction; in other cases, it reflects what may be called "convergent evolution." In any case, as the author writes, "Many values articulated in the world''s major faiths are seen to mirror those embraced in Pirkei Avot.
