Light wear to spine, covers and corners.; This collaborative volume examines how major world religions understand what it means to be human. Essays by leading scholars explore Chinese religion, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, asking how each tradition describes our origins, limitations, suffering, moral responsibilities, and ultimate destiny. Alongside close readings of key texts, Neville develops a careful method for comparing religious ideas without reducing their differences. The result is a rigorous, accessible guide to the “human condition” as seen through multiple theological and philosophical lenses. Useful for students of religion, theology, philosophy and comparative ethics.; Octavo (standard book size); 368 pages.
