Synopsis

What would Mohammad and Jesus have said to one other if they had ever met? Or Jesus and Buddha? Or Confucius and Mahavira? To what extent would they have agreed on issues such as life, death, after-life, immortality and eternity, creation, and the Free Spirit. Would they have discovered that there are many more similarities between their individual philosophies than there are differences? Would they have modified some of their viewpoints if challenged with those of others?The author blends facts with fiction and takes the reader on an audacious intellectual journey into the minds of the five greatest thinkers of all time.The reader will feel like he or she sits in on discussions among these prophets, discussions that are profound, educational, and often humorous, discussions that will test the limits of the reader's open-mindedness and tolerance, discussions that are sure to change the reader.Set in the majestic Monte Cassino monastery in Italy in modern time, a woman acts as a catalyst for these discussions, which are as relevant today as ever.
