This book is a fascinating exploration of the concept of priesthood and clergy in non-Christian religions. It argues that the Christian church has much to learn from other religions in this regard, and that the concept of a community of co-equal brethren is a powerful and important one. The book is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and society.
