Light-its symbolism pervades the world religions. There even has developed a modern religion of light whose practitioners refer to themselves as "lightworkers." Buddhists aspire to enlightenment; Christian and other mystics seek illumination. But what are the meanings of light in religion? Surprisingly, this is the first and only book to explore this profound subject. From the ancient standing stones of England and Europe to the now lost religion of Manichaeism, from Pythagoras and Plato to the present, Religion of Light provides an unforgettable introduction to light and to our consciousness of light. Arthur Versluis is author of more than twenty-five books, translated into many languages. Religion of Light is the second in a trilogy of books that began with The Mystical State, and will conclude with another groundbreaking work, Perennial Philosophy.

Akhenaten, also known as Amenhotep IV, was king of Egypt during the Eighteenth Dynasty and reigned from 1375 to 1358 B.C. E. Called the "religious revolutionary," he is the earliest known creator of a new religion. The cult he founded broke with Egypt's traditional polytheism and focused its worship on a single deity, the sun god Aten. Erik Hornung, one of the world's preeminent Egyptologists, here offers a concise and accessible account of Akhenaten and his religion of light.Hornung begins with a discussion of the nineteenth-century scholars who laid the foundation for our knowledge of Akhenaten's period and extends to the most recent archaeological finds. He emphasizes that Akhenaten's monotheistic theology represented the first attempt in history to explain the entire natural and human world on the basis of a single principle. "Akhenaten made light the absolute reference point," Hornung writes, "and it is astonishing how clearly and consistently he pursued this concept." Hornung also addresses such topics as the origins of the new religion; pro-found changes in beliefs regarding the afterlife; and the new Egyptian capital at Akhetaten which was devoted to the service of Aten, his prophet Akhenaten, and the latter's family.

There is perhaps no greater constant in religious intuition and experience than the presence of light. In spiritual traditions East and West, light is not only ubiquitous but something that assumes strikingly similar forms in altogether different historical and cultural settings. This study examines light as an aspect of religiously valued experiences and its entailments for mystical theology, philosophy, politics, and religious art. The essays in this volume make an important contribution to religious studies by proposing that it is misleading to conceive of religious experience in terms of an irreconcilable dichotomy between universality and cultural construction. An esteemed group of contributors, representing the study of Asian and Western religious traditions from a range of disciplinary perspectives, suggests that attention to various forms of divine radiance shows that there is indeed a range of principles that, if not universal, are nevertheless very widely occurring and amenable to fruitful comparative inquiry. What results is a work of enormous scope, demonstrating compelling cross-connections that will be of value to scholars of comparative religions, mysticism, and the relationship between art and the sacred.

Religion's common denominator: The Light God does not have a religion. God does not speak a language. God does not have a culture. It is we who require these things. A modern woman has an extraordinary dream that seems like a near-death experience and leads to a quest for truth. Her journey continues to the foundation of religious unity.
