All world religions make statements about the beginning: about the beginning of the world and the beginning and nature of human beings. Propositions about God and humankind, about the eternity or the becoming of God, and about the position and destiny of the human person, the image of God, are woven into religious speculations about the beginning . The first volume in the series A Discourse of the World Religions presents the image of the human person and the image of the deity in the world religions, as well as the relationship of both to teachings about the beginning of the world, its creation or origin. Leading thinkers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam provide the reader with a first-hand source for understanding the five world religions and their teaching about God, the human person, and the origin of the world.
