With its revolutionary “multi-entry approach”, this book offers a mind-blowing reading experience and showcases the enrichment that comes from a multiplicity of voices. Each chapter carefully articulates its philosophical method or paradigm on religious theories, practices, assumptions, their embodied expressions, political significance, or neurological underpinnings. A treasure of comparison, respectful engagement, and careful disagreement awaits the reader as each chapter enters in dialogue with other chapters. -- Chiara Robbiano, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Utrecht University, Netherlands This collection of essays presents to the reader a panoramic expanse of spiritual landscapes as well as a multitude of possible methodological approaches to deal with it — a breadth that has remained, in spite of all efforts to decolonialize and to diversify, beyond the usual range of the philosophy of religion. In this book, the discipline is considered as an irreducible plurality, where Christian and Muslim themes are on par with various Indian traditions, Chinese cosmology as well as African and Native American worldviews, none among them towering above the others. -- Rein Raud, Distinguished Professor of Asian and Cultural Studies, School of Humanities, Tallinn University
