Not content merely to explore these relationships, the author further examines the relevance of mythology and philosophy in a discussion of salvation—salvation understood in its sociological, eschatological, and philosophical senses. The treatment of myth and philosophy is comprehensive in scope, pulling together a great variety of sources and commentary, and illuminating them for the Western reader. This study will be of interest both to students of Indian religions and to students of comparative religion interested in creating a context for the discussion of Eastern and Western religions.Editions SR ;v. 5.SalvationHinduismHinduismDoctrinesSalvationHinduism.HinduismDoctrines.294.5/22Klostermaier Klaus K.1933-1176729MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154757403321Mythologies and philosophies of salvation in the theistic traditions of India2858572UNINA
