Description

The concept of deliverance from an imperfect human condition is present in all the world faiths. But what does the concept of salvation really represent to each of them? How do they define the human condition, and what do they see as its imperfect elements? Harold Coward answers these questions and addresses a wide range of key issues in this accessible introduction. Covering not only Christianity, but also Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, he examines the roles of salvation and sin in each, drawing on a diverse range of scripture, scholarship, and key thinkers both ancient and modern. The book concludes with an overview of the key similarities and differences between each tradition, and features a full bibliography.
