Salvation in Religion

Paper Summary:

Four of the greatest world religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hindi, describe salvation. Using ideas from the books of "Genesis" and "Exodus" from the Old Testament of the Jews; the "Book of Matthew" from the New Testament of the Christians; "Suras 1 and 2" from the Koran of the Muslims, and the "Bhagavad Gita" from the Mahabharata of the Hindus, this paper shows how it is possible to understand the essence of salvation within those four respective world religions, both separately and comparatively.

From the Paper:

"In Exodus 1-24 from the Old Testament, Moses, upon God's command, on Mount Sinai (Exodus 3), leads the Jews out of bondage in Egypt, after many generations of enslavement and persecution there, at the hands of the Egyptian Pharaohs (Exodus 5-12). Moses leads the Jews across the Red Sea (Exodus 14), and through a barren desert, to the "land of milk and honey". Within Exodus 1-24, from the Old Testament, that journey and its aftermath represent (eventual) salvation. Exodus 31-33 tells of Moses returning from Mount Sinai with the tablets containing the Ten Commandments, only to find that in his absence, his brother Aaron has allowed the Jews to create a molten (golden) calf, which they now worship (a pagan idol) instead of God."
