Carl McColman reviews the book Peace Be With You: Monastic Wisdom for a Terror-Filled World, by David Carlson, who argues that contemplative Christianity is the best antidote to the political and theological violence of fundamentalism (a better term would totalitarian religion).

Peter Berger discusses the value of religious pluralism, ecumenicity, and theological tourism in light of one man’s spiritual experiment of practicing a different religion every month for a year.
