The World's Crisis and Faiths.
London: John Lane The Bodley Head, 1942. 1st edition. "Baron Palmstierna, well known for his penetrating study of the great subject of immortality and pre-existence, has now turned his attention to examining the fundamental causes of the present [1942] breakdown of civilisation and to discovering a remedy..He finds it in certain similarities between all the great world religions. As a member of the Council of the World Congress of Faiths, he has had opportunities of hearing and conversing with leading adherents of the Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian and Muslim religions. He therefore now writes with an authority which few in the West possess."(Foreword. Sir Francis Younghusband). Pp.192, slight toning to pages.
