This book details the vision of interspirituality within a comprehensive and powerful synthesis of world religions and spirituality, the discoveries of modern science, and the developmental and evolutionary view of history. It is the first book to review and predict the ongoing history of world religions and spirituality in the context of developmental history, the evolutionary consciousness movement, and current scientific understandings of anthropology, human cognite development, brain/mind and scientific consciousness studies.
This book addresses Brother WayneTeasdale’s vision of “The Interspiritual Age,” a vision that parallels the equally well-known and publicized visions of the world’s developmental and evolutionary consciousness movements (known therein as coming “Integral Age” or “Age of Evolutionary Consciousness”) and the international humanist movement (known therein as the emerging “International Ethical Manifold”). As such The Coming Interspiritual Age is the first synthesis of interfaith and interspirituality with the popular writings of integral leaders Ken Wilber and Don Beck.
The book includes provocative sections regarding the inherent unity within the world’s religious and spiritual understanding (especially their shared mystical understandings), the relationship of these and modern scientific studies of consciousness and brain/mind, the developmental and evolutionary views of history, the inevitable ongoing processes of world globalization and multiculturalism, the emergent understanding of the Divine Feminine, the nature of spiritual experience and the reputed spirit realms, and the various predictions around and surrounding the year 2012. The book concludes with extensive “how-to” sections regarding the development and practice of interspirituality as it can happen both within the world’s current religious traditions as well as in new, creative, and entrepreneurial settings worldwide.

Dr. Kurt Johnson has an international reputation with the UN and other organizations. His many years of interdisciplinary scholarship and experience allow him to be a great visionary for the future of humankind. After detailing the history of this movement and revealing many of the common threads, he continues with the positive initiative to advance this authentic spirituality. He understands the necessity of balancing our biological and spiritual existence harmoniously in our communities. He is charming and cordial in person as he displays respect and encouragement to all around him.I live in the DFW area where the police officers were shot in early July. There was a nationally televised Multifaith Prayer Service held on July 8th in Dallas' Thanksgiving Square. The words of many of the ministers, the rabbi, and the imam repeated the need for more coordinated interfaith interactions. The question was posed "Why did an act of hatred have to happen to bring us together in love?" So, I ordered many more copies to send to these leaders.

The Coming Interspiritual Age edition by Kurt Johnsons David Ord Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
It's easy to dismiss a book like this as new-agey but in fact it is solidly grounded in science. Kurt Johnson combines a PhD in evolutionary biology with monastic training. The concept of interspirituality notes that all religious traditions converge upon the scientifically validated fact that everything is interconnected. Certain ethical principles follow from this fact. See my interview with Johnson on the online magazine This View of Life for more.
The Coming Interspiritual Age advances the work begun by Interfaith thinkers such as Father Bede Griffiths, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Brother Wayne Teasdale. Further, this text asks us to think seriously about the role of science in relation to contemporary spirituality. Too often, the scientist and theologian are placed in different categories, but Kurt Johnson, co-author of this text and a scientist/theologian himself, asks us to consider the sacred dimensions of both science and spirituality. If you don't read another book this year, read this one--slowly and thoughtfully. In its way, this text is prophetic of where Interspiritualy is likely to head over the next several decades as religious plurality makes inroads into the political and social fabric of a globalized world.

The previous reviews cover important details about this book, which I will try not to repeat. Much of the narrative resonated with my own reading, experiences, and personal evolution, so the material was easy to take in. It is well written and accessible to the non-scientist and non-theologian but satisfying to the expert. The familiar portions provided comfort food, while the information new to me made a fine dessert. For anyone interested in the intersections between science and spirituality and/or religion, this is a treasure house. For someone new to the subject, this is the place to start and then pursue the particular leads found inside that excite your imagination and make your heart race.The bibliography alone is worth the price of the book.
Dr. Kurt Johnson and David Ord have produced an excellent survey of the three thousand years plus of human spirituality and condensed it down into five hundred pages. The bottom line is that spirituality evolves as does the gamit of human activities. The next stage of human spirituality is the concept of "interspirituality" which was a term first used by Bro. Wayne Teasdale in his book "The Mystic Heart." Dr. Johnson's close relationship to Bro. Teasdale makes this book especially compelling to read. It provides a more up-to-date review of interspirituality, including modern structures like the Order of Universal Interfaith which was created since that first book. This work is on the "top-ten-must-reads" for our spiritual society.
This is a five star book with tremendous historical sweep and provocative emphasis on the continuing spiritual evolution of the human race. It calls us all to affirm the gifts of our particular religious roots and their contribution to the one tree of life. This is not pointing to some homoginized ecumenicity but to many different wells that all tap in to the same aquifer. It allows one to affirm and participate in his/her religious tradition, avoid seeing all other traditions as being in error or perverting the truth, and promotes an ever-widening appreciation for and learning from "how others do it." This book is not for the religious bigot but for every longing heart and open mind who seeks deep peace and serenity of spirit.
A serious no fool around read.....I suggest this book be taken to heart.
Its detailed tracking of the dynamic process of human spiritual development through shifting paradigms
and the musing of how the future just may be unfolding in a direction of a greater We awareness.
On so many levels this book announces without a doubt the brilliance
of Kurt Johnson and David Robert Ord proving they have indeed done there homework on every
page with information at a depth that holds the potential to alter ones perceptions on a cellular level.
A stellar read !!!!
