| Summary: | Continuing Keith Ward's series on comparative theology, this book deals with religious views of human nature and destiny. The beliefs of a number of major traditions are presented, ranging from the 'one self' belief of Advaita Vedanta to the 'many self' view of Vaishnavism, the 'no self' position of Buddhism and the 'embodied self' views of the semitic religious traditions. Finally, a Christian view of personal immortality and the 'end of all things' is developed in conversation with Jewish and Muslim beliefs about judgement and resurrection. |
