Evil in World Religions is an authoritative examination of the similarities and differences in how many of the world's religions respond to the issues of evil and suffering in the world. After proposing definitions of "religion," "evil" and other useful religious concepts, this study begins with the world's oldest religions-Hinduism, Judaism and the dualistic faiths of Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Manichaeism. The study continues on to an analysis of the beliefs of four Asian faiths-Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto. Finally, the book examines Christianity and Islam, which arose in the ancient Near East in Israel and the Arabian Peninsula, and then traditional African religions, particularly of the Yoruba and Igbo people. Evil in World Religions is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of comparative religion and theodicy.
