The author and his best friend, a Catholic lay brother, provide a challenging, and entertaining analysis of the thoughts of our greatest thinkers on religion and ethics. Our political and religious leaders have failed us. Despotism is on the rise. Countries teeter on the brink of war, and others smolder within, threatening nuclear standoffs that rattle a world that seems to be spinning out of control. Self-interest and greed hobble our abilities to stand up against these growing threats. Scribes of the Tribe offers a timely compilation of quotes from Aristotle to Gandhi, interwoven with commentary by the author and his best friend, a Catholic lay brother. Their thoughtful, challenging, and entertaining analysis allows you to contemplate your beliefs, challenge what you’ve been taught, and refine your thinking in the company of the greatest minds the world has ever known. Find answers to life’s Big Questions and explore the root of humanity’s deepest anxieties and fears with this stimulating and entertaining book!
