Bøker av Gavin (Professor of Hindu Studies and Comparative Religion Flood

This book firstly presents an account of how the category life has been understood by religions in the history of Indian, Chinese, and European/Middle Eastern civilizations and secondly how those religions can be explained in terms of life.

The idea that there is a truth within the person discovered through introspection is found in most religions. This book examines this metaphor in the history of Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism and the methods developed in those religions to realize it, particularly prayer and meditation.
