The Divine Library

A comprehensive reference guide to the sacred texts and spiritual literature of the world

From the Angas to the Zend-Avesta, from Apocryphal writings to the Yogini Tantra, and from the Bible to the Zohar, Camphausen traces the divine impluse as it has been expressed through the world's great traditions from earliest times to the present.

His book is the first to offer a concise and comprehensive guide to the full spectrum of spiritual literature:

140 sacred texts are succinctly and lucidly described in relation to the cultures that spawned them and in the context of other sacred works of the same time period.

The author follows the sources of the texts back to their origins -- in many cases to the oral traditions of preliterate cultures.

Illustrations, as well as an extended glossary and alphabetic and geographic indexes futher illuminate the many and diverse streams of the world's spiritual wisdom, stimulating our own exploration and discover of the sacred.
