"Is it possible to hold the crisis of the modern world in the palm of one's hand, rotating it thoughtfully to view it from all angles? This, in effect, is what Marty Glass does in The Sandstone Papers. Through the eyes of alter-egos, he analyzes our dilemma from the six leading, rival, philosophical perspectives that are jostling for acceptance - all to the (unspoken) end of forcing the reader to ask what he or she takes to be the fundamental problem/opportunity of our time. It is a sensitive and deeply reflective book." - HustonSmith, author of The World's Religions, etc.
