Do all the great faiths of the world share a vision of the same supreme reality? In an attempt to answer these questions, Keith Ward considers the doctrine of an ultimate reality within five world religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity. He studies closely the works of definitive, orthodox writers from each tradition - Sankara, Ramanuja, Asvaghosa, Maimonides, Al-Ghazzali and Aquinas - to build up a series of 'images' of God, a common core of belief. Ward discovers that while the great religious traditions of the world retain their differences, there are convergences of thought at the deepest level, with a broad similarity of structure in concepts of God. He concludes that a recognition of these beliefs, as well as encouraging a clearer acceptance of the mystery of the divine, might also lead to an increase in understanding and tolerance of other faiths, to the enrichment of one's own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851680640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851680641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ONEWorld Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.36w x 0.61d","brand":"Keith Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939007627519,"sku":"9781851680641","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cd1e144a-f7af-4532-832b-0c6fd117b380.jpg?v=1681438950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concepts-of-god-keith-ward-9781851680641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
