In the modern world the subject of religion assumes an ever-growing importance, despite a widely held view to the contrary. On the one hand there is the evidence of a strong impulse towards ecumenism on the part of the established religions, and on the other, the very widespread trend among individuals towards seeking out and following religious beliefs and practices of a much less formal and less organized kind.

The Nature of Religious Man is the report of a symposium designed to bring together the realm of tradition, featuring representative students of Hinduism, Judaism and Christianity; and of experience, featuring specialists in Zen, Yoga and Christian mysticism.
