The Concept of Salvation in the Upanishads,
the Bible and the Qur’An
Salvation is a dear subject for all believers. Five out of Six
persons in the world are believers in God and all of them have different
concepts of salvation or moksha. In this book Dr. Abraham Karickam is
attempting a detailed study of this concept in three major religions of the
world viz. Hinduism, Christianity and Islam.
Dr.
Karickam has put forward a theory that revelation is a process in
progression. According to him Holy Books are complementary components in a
continuum. He speaks of a cosmic method in the design of various holy scriptures.
This
book is an excellent example to support this theory. It is a telling pointer towards
the convergence of philosophical concepts embedded in major religions of the
world. The concept of moksha in three prominent religions is exemplified with
excellent lucidity so that even an ordinary reader can understand the
intricasies without much difficulty.
This book was
published by the Cosmic Community Center, Karickam in November 2003 and it was released
by Rt. Rev. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius Episcopa at a special meeting arranged at
Mar Thoma Jubilee Mandiram, Kottarakara.
