This school is, well-known for its espousal of the "transcendent unity of religions", the idea that religions are different paths leading to the same summit.

While the Dead drew on the teachings of many spiritual traditions, the bands ethos echoed quite powerfully the wisdom of Christian Scripture. This reflection examines the ways in which the Grateful Dead embodied...
