Through the ages, mankind has pursued questions of faith in something beyond the world of ordinary encounter. Will there be a God? How do we explain the presence of wicked? Do humans, or individual souls, live on after loss of life? Is there a hell?

By delving in to the main characteristics of world religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, mankind’s association with the countless different types of religious practice is brought to light. Above all, Faith and Cause: The Viewpoint of Religion lays the groundwork for any rational approach to pursuing questions of faith-and at the same time offers a better understanding of religion’s ongoing importance in the realm of human experience.
