Overview

The first book to systematically explore the concept of transreligious discourse. 'The Ocean of God' proposes that the future of religions will become transreligious. Its polyphilic pluralism, entertaining religious pluralism and the unity of religions mediated by process and Baha'i thought, assumes the spiritual impulse of humanity, despite secularizations, naturalizations and transhumanist dreams, to further a civilized future of peace.

Reviews

Roland Faber's The Ocean of God is a sophisticated discourse on religious pluralism that respects religious diversity while advocating for an overarching sense of commonality, or unity, by way of an emerging transreligious identity. Sweeping in scope, articulate in discourse, profound in depth, and scintillating with insight, The Ocean of God is a religious manifesto with an almost prophetic vision, born of an uncanny sense of the driving force and future direction of the spiritual impulse animating the evolution of human society-past, present and future. -Christopher Buck, https://readingreligion.org/books/ocean-god, accessed 11 August 2020
