Product Description:


  • This booklet of essays, written by three university professors, Michael Hays, Jay Heffron and Howard Hunter, well-versed in cultural studies, history and religion, takes this event (November 1991, an event of excommunication of SGI, its President Daisaku Ikeda and all of its membership), which scholars around the world are watching with keen interest and places it within a historical and philosophical framework. This volume does not argue doctrinal issues. Rather it demonstrates that this conflict is a natural and even inevitable continuation of a "perpetual revolution" between authoritarianism, in the form of an anachronistic priesthood, and freedom of the human spirit, in the form of a democratic religion which offers answers to seom of humanitu's most pressing needs as we approach the new millennium.
