The Philosophy of Religion simultaneously epitomises and fails to epitomise religion because it is difficult to philosophise about something that relies heavily on faith. For, what is religion if not faith?

 

This work by Prof. Jatav explains incisively what he means by the word 'religion' and its philosophy. He presents a comparative study of philosophy, science and adumbrates views on the existence of God from religious, philosophical and scientific viewpoints. Jatav examines the various notions on the existence of God. He also puts forth an academic thesis on religions without God.

 

He further studies the problem of the concomitance of God, religion and morality; examining various aspects of religion and philosophy.

 

Further in the book, Jatav undertakes a critical study of religious knowledge, the idea of the soul, the concept of liberation and the problem of evil as presented in various religions of the world.

 

The author critically examines the notion of secularism and addresses the issues of conversion and proselytising. He concludes that all religions are not equal but emphasises the importance of religious harmony.

 

His upasamhara is a fittingly thoughtful finale to a highly lucid work.

 

A must read for all those who are interested in religion, philosophy and the humanities.
