They  must develop theories of the origin and the overcoming of evil and  suffering. The explanations in Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism,  Islam, and Judaism of evil and suffering and their origin, as well as  these world religions' theories of how to overcome evil and suffering,  differ from one another, but are also similar in many respects. The  human person is always considered to be the origin of evil, and also  to be the focus of aspirations to be able to overcome it. The  conviction that evil and suffering are not original and can be  overcome is characteristic of and common to the religions. \u003cbr\u003e  The explanations of the origin of evil are closely related to the  explanations of the continuation and propagation of evil in human  persons, in nature, and in our technology and culture that have been  developed in the religions - in Christianity, for example, as the  doctrine of original sin. Finally, the world religions are concerned  with how to cope with suffering and offer guidance for overcoming evil  and suffering. \u003cbr\u003e  Leading scholars of five world religions, Buddhism, Islam,  Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism, have created with this volume a  first-hand source of information, which enables the reader to gain a  better understanding of these religions' central teachings about the  origin and the overcoming of evil and suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048159000\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9789-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 159\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50091584290956,"sku":"9789048159000","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048159000.jpg?v=1779509217","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048159000","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
