FAITH IS PART OF HUMAN EXISTENCE

About the Book

The issue is very important from many viewpoints: we distinguish three components of the inter-human dialogue, starting with the lesser, but very important one – a dialogue of religion, then the successful result of the process is followed by the dialogue of cultures and in a more global scale, of civilizations. The approach is new and interesting from the viewpoint of division of spheres of influence and scope of the three components of world nations’ life. The book is meant for experts and the general public.
