He doesn’t say anything about the Trinity.

In fact he says stuff like this:

“Dr. Alexander met and heard from thousands of individuals whom his story has affected. He also studied what the world’s religious traditions, and its philosophers, have had to say about the soul’s survival of death, and he has been deeply surprised at how often those voices from the past synch up with what he heard from people today. In The Map of Heaven, he shares some of the stories that the people have told him and links them up with what the world’s spiritual traditions have to say about the journey of the soul.

Part metaphysical detective story, part manual for living, The Map of Heaven explores humankind’s spiritual history and the birth of modern science in the seventeenth century, showing how we forgot, and are now at last remembering, who we really are and what our true destiny really is.”

Nothing about God or Christ, but all sorts about diverse spiritual traditions.

Oprah and Newsweek hype this guy.

We have no need for these kinds of Charlatans.

No he doesn’t say anything about the Trinity. But who cares? I can read other opinions that don’t sway my beliefs and even try to understand other religions.
