About the book:
Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others by Barbara Brown Taylor is a thoughtful exploration of how encountering people of other faith traditions can expand our understanding of spirituality and deepen our own connection with God. Drawing on her experiences teaching world religions, Taylor shares stories of visiting monasteries, temples, and mosques with her students, and reflects on the lessons these encounters offered about humility, compassion, and respect for difference.
While grounded in her own journey, Taylor’s insights encourage readers of all backgrounds to appreciate the beauty of diverse paths to the Divine. The book reminds us that engaging with other traditions does not weaken our own faith, but can inspire gratitude, curiosity, and a renewed commitment to our own beliefs.
