Reviews

Loss and hope are not only universal features of human existence; they also characterize much of contemporary sentiment. Moving and thought-provoking, the case studies and principle reflections in this volume envisage crucial human experiences within a global, multi-religious and multi-perspectival framework. They shed fresh light on our understanding of the human condition. -- Professor Perry Schmidt-Leukel, University of Muenster, Germany
