Making Sense of Religion

World Religions

Foreword

“This book argues sequentially for a fresh view of religion and religions based on their views of life, whose concerns sharae ground with secular views of life. It shows how views of happiness, values, human nature, ritual, authority, and the Ultimate mutually adapt. Corliss thus grounds humanistic, undogmatic theologies while avoiding subjectivist pitfalls of previous liberal theologies and recognizing genuine differences among religious traditions at their stages of evolution. His concrete analyses would cast light in any Western or world survey course.”
