Jack Miles, Distinguished Professor of English and Religious Studies at the University of California at Irvine and Senior Fellow for Religious Affairs for the Pacific Council on International Policy, is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning God: A Biography and Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God. As editor of the Norton Anthology of World Religions, a landmark work containing more than 1,000 primary texts from the world’s six major religions along with the writings of scholars, seekers, believers, and skeptics, Miles invites readers to “see others with a measure of openness, empathy, and good will… in that capacity lies the foundation of human sympathy and cultural wisdom.”
