Description

Monotheism and the Meaning of Life explores the role of God, and the relationship to the question 'What is the meaning of life?' for adherents of the main monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Exploring the various senses of 'meaning' and 'life', Mawson argues that there are various questions implicit in the notion of the meaning of life and that the God of monotheistic religion is central to the correct answers to all of them.

Reviews

'... a valuable contribution to scholarship on the meaning of life, but also serves as an accessible and insightful resource for upper-level undergraduate courses and graduate studies.' Brian C. Barnet, Religious Studies Review
