{"product_id":"the-problem-of-god-in-signe-cohen-9781009578707","title":"The Problem of God in Buddhism","description":"Since Buddhism does not include a belief in a personal god instrumental to the creation of the world or to human salvation, it is often assumed that gods play no part in Buddhism at all. This Element complicates the simplistic assessment of Buddhism as an 'atheistic religion' and discusses the various roles deities play in Buddhist texts and practice. The Problem of God in Buddhism includes a comprehensive analysis of the Buddhist refutations of a creator God, the idea of salvation without divine intervention, the role of minor deities in Buddhism, the question of whether Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can function as gods in certain forms of Buddhism, and the notion of the sacred as apart from the divine in Buddhist traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Signe Cohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009578707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009578707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Signe Cohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46685946577151,"sku":"9781009578707","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87f7d9cb-991b-4702-85e6-a297a80ce49b.jpg?v=1741727245","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-problem-of-god-in-signe-cohen-9781009578707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
