More than ever, there is an urgent need to rediscover timeless and objective principles in order to confront the issues of our times. In this collection of thirty remarkable essays, Lakhani summons us to rediscover the sacred worldview of Tradition, governed by truth, virtue, and beauty, as he addresses some of the most pressing issues today, including fundamentalism, gender and sexuality, religious diversity and pluralism, faith and science, and the problem of evil.

I sometimes feel that Lakhani's dislike of modernism is stretched too much. He feels that equalization of sexes does not comport with tradition and neither does same-sex relationships. Sexual complementarity is a principle that people should follow. I feel that he misses today's need for male and female to have equal respect, and these partners still demonstrate complementarity, as do those in a same sex relationship also experience this.
Traditonalists frequently find quite a bit that is attractive in Islam. Lakhani has a major review of a trilogy of books about the thought of Henry Corbin, written by Tom Cheetham. Corbin is heavily influnced by Sufi thoguht and sometimes verges a little closer to gnosticism tan I am willing to go. But Lakhani is useful to read as he can help one think about the sacred and our relation with it. ( )
