World Religions in the Postmodern Age
This book addresses a number of important issues for religious people living in a postmodern age, such as: Is rationally defensible religion even possible after postmodern critiques of religion? If it is, what if anything can be salvaged from previous religious traditions? And what should be the religious person’s attitude toward other religions? Ruf argues that a rationally defensible postmodern religion is possible, and that despite their differences world religions share common features and ethical commitments that can be appealed to as a basis for dialogue and tolerance. These are issues which should concern everyone living in a postmodern, culturally and religiously divided world.
The book is composed of four sections. Section one presents an introduction to religion and how if differs from metaphysics. Section two presents interpretations of Asian religions (like Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Zen). Section three presents interpretations of Middle Eastern/Western religions (like Jewish, Christian, Muslim). Section four presents a concluding declaration of religious freedom in the Postmodern Age.
