With his keen legal mind and methodical style, he provides a careful comparative study, highlighting key truths he finds in each religion even as he offers critiques. Treating each perspective on its own terms and weighing the worldviews for consistency and livability, Lanier assesses evidence for and against belief systems with criteria for what constitutes sufficient proof."--publisher description. 505 0 $a A legal primer -- Opening statement -- PART I: MYSTICAL FAITHS -- Examining Hinduism -- Examining Buddhism -- PART II: HISTORICAL RELIGIONS. -- Examining Judaism -- Examining Islam -- Examining Mormonism -- PART III: MODERN RELIGIOUS EXPRESSIONS.
