MIRABAI STARR is an adjunct professor of philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos. As a teenager, Starr lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community that has honored all the world’s faith traditions since its inception in 1967. At Lama she encountered many of the leading teachers and timeless traditions of diverse spiritual paths: Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, and Native American. This ecumenical experience was formative in the universal quality that has infused her work ever since. Starr is best known to readers for her acclaimed translations of Dark Night of the Soul by John of the Cross, and The Interior Castle and The Book of My Life by Teresa of Avila.
God of Love celebrates the mystical and social justice teachings
of the world's three monotheistic traditions: Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam. This is a passionate defense of the hidden
and often unacknowledged treasures of these complex and volatile
paths.”Spirituality & Practice, Awarded one of S&P’s Best
Spiritual Books of 2012
Maybe if Starr were less of a storyteller, her style would be less
invitational, but she writes about the three Abrahamic religions as
a woman in love, not as a tenure-hungry prof. The result, bearing
the brilliance of her surname, plaits a strong braid from the
essences of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: God is love. She
writes about the three Abrahamic religions as a woman in love, not
as a tenure-hungry prof.”Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
The radiance of this book lies in the heartfelt and intelligent
way it constructs a bridge not only between the three religious
traditions but, equally important, a bridge between the moments
when we recognize and know this God of love in our own lives and
the moments when that love becomes invisibleobscured by clouds of
anger, disbelief, sorrow, or despair.”Tikkun.org
Mirabai Starr’s new book, God of Love A Guide to the Heart of
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, will be disconcerting to many in
an arena that seems sometimes to have been written to death the
complexities of the Abrahamic faiths. The interconnections Starr
explores seem novel but obvious at first. As the interconnections
accumulate, though, familiar sacred texts become powerful and
compelling in new ways, a source of hope for those who’ve concluded
that Abrahamic violence is forever intractable.”The Interfaith
Observer
As a writer Starr is bold and daring and her love for God comes
leaping off the pages. Her enthusiasm is so great, it’s hard not to
get caught up in it.”Patheos.com
