Making Sense of Religion

World Religions

“Writing in a plain and lucid style, Richard Corliss explores the hidden logic shared by Hinduism, early Buddhism, Biblical Judaism, and early Christianity. Drawing on the idea that religious belief proceeds from our 'highest and dearest' values, Professor Corliss outlines a kind of personal theology developed from his many years teaching comparative religion and heading the religious studies program at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. Throughout this quietly reflective book, he makes sense of religion by being centrally concerned with forms of evil and well-being that are applicable to the individual reader, believer or not.”
