520 $aIn a valuable contribution to the philosophy of religion, Merold Westphal explains what it means to be religious. Examples from the writings of Kierkegaard, Freud, Heidegger, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and Tolstoi illuminate the author's thesis that guilt and death are the central problems of human existence. A typology of exilic, mimetic, and covenantal religions distinguishes three different approaches to salvation from guilt and death.
