Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the enduring existence of religion, focusing on the common elements that it asserts are present in all religions. The author argues that the continued existence of religion, despite the rise of secularism, is a testament to the persistence of specific spiritual laws and principles expressed in the doctrines that people demand from their religions. This book examines a range of religions such as Islamism, Buddhism, and Christianity, revealing that each of these religions manifests a consistent demand for elements of dependence, fellowship, and progress from its adherents. The author demonstrates how the study of religion can provide a basis for understanding the essential nature of humanity and its spiritual needs, suggesting that a religion which can accommodate these needs is likely to be successful and long-lasting.
