World Religions

“In Behind the Altar, Linda Olds opens a window on her lifelong exploration of the world’s religions, sharing discoveries that shaped her spiritual growth. Each chapter focuses on a dimension of religion’s intersection with psychology, showing how spiritual insight can reveal to us who we are—in body, mind, soul, and spirit—and guide us toward lives of compassion and gratitude. The book stands out for its cross-cultural breadth, depth of insight, scholarship, and eloquence.”
