World Wisdom

The Library of Perennial Philosophy

The Library of Perennial Philosophy is dedicated to the exposition of the time-

less Truth underlying the diverse religions. This Truth, often referred to as the Sophia

Perennis —or Perennial Wisdom—finds its expression in the revealed Scriptures as

well as the writings of the great sages and the artistic creations of the traditional

worlds.

The Perennial Philosophy provides the intellectual principles capable of explain-

ing both the formal contradictions and the transcendent unity of the great reli-

gions.

Ranging from the writings of the great sages of the past, to the perennialist

authors of our time, each series of our Library has a different focus. As a whole, they

express the inner unanimity, transforming radiance, and irreplaceable values of the

great spiritual traditions.

Ye Shall Know the Truth: Christianity and the Perennial Philosophy appears as one of

our selections in the Perennial Philosophy series.

The Perennial Philosophy Series

In the beginning of the Twentieth Century, a school of thought arose

which has focused on the enunciation and explanation of the Perennial

Philosophy. Deeply rooted in the sense of the sacred, the writings of its

leading exponents establish an indispensable foundation for understand-

ing the timeless Truth and spiritual practices which live in the heart of all

religions. Some of these titles are companion volumes to the Treasures of

the World’s Religions series, which allows a comparison of the writings of

the great sages of the past with the perennialist authors of our time.
