Is what, or whether, one believes the significant religious question?Although the religious communities differ in belief, how much do they really differ in faith?Do two people who assert a particular statement of belief necessarily share the same faith?Written by a highly respected scholar in the field of comparative religion, these issues are directly addressed in this investigation of the personal quality of faith, and its relationship to the concept of belief.
