THE CONCEPT OF SALVATION IN THE UPANISHADS,
THE BIBLE AND QUR’AN
Salvation is a dear
subject for all believers. Five out of Six persons in the world are
believers in God and all of them have different concepts of salvation or
moksha. In this book Dr. Abraham Karickam is attempting a detailed study of
this concept in three major religions of the world viz. Hinduism, Christianity
and Islam.
Dr. Karickam has put forward a theory that revelation is a process in
progression. According to him Holy Books are complementary components in a
continuum. He speaks of a cosmic method in the design of various Holy
Scriptures.This book is an excellent example to support this theory. It is a telling
pointer towards the convergence of philosophical concepts embedded in major
religions of the world. The concept of moksha in three prominent religions is
exemplified with excellent lucidity so that even an ordinary reader can
understand the intricacies without much difficulty. This book was published by the Cosmic Community Center, Karickam in
November 2003 and it was released by Rt. Rev. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius
Episcopa at a special meeting arranged at Mar Thoma Jubilee Mandiram,
Kottarakara.
