Deity and Death

This book is about two fundamental realities: Death - "the supreme crisis of life"; and Deity - "the supreme power in life." These subjects are explored in seven chapters which were originally presented as papers at BYU Religious Studies Center's first symposium on comparative world religion. The reader will find compelling interest in the book's wide-ranging perspectives in Asian and Western countries which bear directly upon our understanding of ourselves and of the society in which we live.
