"World Scripture is not simply a tool for the comparative study of religion. It intends to be a step on the
way to something new: a scripture for a truly global culture, a resource for a theology fit for an increasingly
interdependent world."
--John Kelsay, Florida State University
"World Scripture is most needed, and very beautiful."
--Rabbi Joseph Gelberman, President, The New Seminary
"Your project is on the correct road, having chosen the Sacred Books as the ground for the various religions to
have a reciprocal understanding, and, leaving aside differences and misunderstandings, bringing together in the
integrity of their own beliefs people of different religions."
--Monsignor Antonio Silvestri, Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, The Vatican
"A gigantic contribution towards better International understanding and inter-religious cooperation."
--Wahiduddin Khan, President, The Islamic Center
