"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.
