"Radical Revolution of Values is a scholarly book but its message of love, compassion, justice, and inclusion, which is much-needed today, is for all people. -Dr. Riffat Hassan, Professor Emerita, Islamic Theology, University of Louisville --- Azam Saeed has tackled big topics we all confront today in our divided culture: religious exploitation, tribalism, threats to our freedom, domestic terrorism. He skillfully dissects these and provides solutions in clear, easy-to-understand language. He reveals himself to be a man with an open mind and heart whose cultural insight is impressive... Cynthia Parzych. Author and Book Publisher, Cynthia Parzych Publishing, Inc. --- ""An excellent resource for helping us understand the backstory to the major socio-political and religious issues of today."" Miriam Therese Winter, PhD / Medical Mission Sister Professor Emerita, Hartford International University for Religion and Peace. --- Few writers can marshal the impressive command of history, psychology, religion and spirituality that Azam Saeed tackles in his masterful analysis of (nothing less than) the state of international and interpersonal conflict. Mr. Saeed invites us to apply the same wide-angle lens on our inner evolution. He brings a beautiful interplay of spiritual voices, images and practices. The whole of the book is infused with an integrative worldview-interweaving informed practical action in the world alongside the necessary growth of self-awareness. Inspiring and informed. Rabbi Andrea Cohen-Kiener, Temple Israel, Greenfield MA. --- This book is a remarkable undertaking! Though unlikely in its wide ambition, it actually succeeds in seamlessly linking the wisdom (and also corruption) of the world's many seemingly unrelated systems of religion, philosophy, politics, education, psychology--and especially the world's most profound poetry-within a deeply thoughtful and respectful work of both scholarly and personal reflection. Grounded in spirituality as well as in solid research, RADICAL REVOLUTION OF VALUES is a hopeful book, compelling readers to rethink and challenge some surprisingly basic assumptions. Elizabeth Aaronsohn, EdD, Associate Professor Emerita, Teacher Education Department, Central Connecticut State University. --- ""A highly informative and absorbing read. With the help of extensive research, this book brings to the fore a completely new perspective on global problems and their solutions. A monumental work by a real polymath."" Ibrahim B Syed, ScD, PhD, DSc, FACR, FInstP, FAIC, FRSH. Clinical Professor of Medicine and Director of Nuclear Medicine Sciences, University of Louisville. -- We humans face the challenge today of living with freedom without compromising on the spiritual values of our predecessors. To realize this ideal, the message of the great world religions has to be made socially and intellectually relevant to our times. The biggest threat in the way of achieving this goal is posed by the terrorism that seeks its justification from the religious text. Azam Saeed's ""Radical Revolution of Values"" is a well-researched, skillfully-written, and thought-provoking book that is an important attempt at refuting the disturbing claim that religion promotes terrorism. He deserves the gratitude of all people who are seriously concerned about the claim that seeks to relate terrorism with religion. The book rebuts the claim thoroughly and convincingly.
