The Comparative Religious Ideas Project is a groundbreaking
three-year collaboration among well-known scholars of world
religious traditions as well as philosophers, historians,
sociologists of religion, and theologians who view religion in more
general terms. These resulting three volumes offer an exciting look
at important comparisons among major world religions and develop
and test a theory of comparison employing the collaborative method.
The idea of ultimacy as a comparative category that cuts across
major religious traditions and cultures is discussed in Ultimate
Realities, a multi-authored collaborative work. In this light,
Chinese religion, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam are examined by distinguished specialist historians. Two
senses of ultimacy emerged in the Cross-Cultural Comparative
Religious Ideas Project from which this volume came. One is the
ultimacy of ontological matters such as God, the Dao, or Brahman.
The other is the anthropological ultimacy of religious quests such
as the Buddhist journey to enlightenment which does not stress any
ontological ultimate, and indeed in some forms considers
ontological ultimates to be problematic.
