Where did the Virgin Mary live after Jesus was crucified? In what kind of house did Joan of Arc grow up? Where did the Baal Shem Tov, Krishnamurti, Thomas Merton, G.I. Gurdjieff, and other great spiritual figures call home?

In its new issue on Home, PARABOLA, the quarterly magazine of the sacred traditions and the search for meaning, presents an unprecedented photographic tour of the homes of great spiritual leaders. We see the cave where Ramana Maharshi sought God, the small bed on which the Dalai Lama slept in the Potala Palace, a rare view from within the Vatican Apartments, and much more.

Home means many things to each of us: shelter, safety, serenity. Home is where the heart is, and it’s also the seat of the soul. To explore the many meanings of Home, Parabola is proud to feature a bounty of engaging interviews and insightful articles. Among them are:

*An interview with Buddhist master Thich Nhat Hanh on finding one’s true home

*Huston Smith on the long journey home

*William Segal on finding home within oneself

*An interview with Mennonite authors Merle and Phyllis Pellman Good on the Amish, the Mennonites, and home as community

*Adin Steinsaltz on leaving and finding home

In addition to these and other articles, the issue presents the traditional stories and poems that are a hallmark of PARABOLA, as well as book reviews, a meditation on the Hassidic rock star Matisyahu, and a rich array of glorious art.

For more than 30 years, only one magazine has served as a home for all of the world’s great religious traditions to illuminate the central questions of human existence. There’s no place like home, and there’s no magazine like PARABOLA.
