Postponing Heaven
Christianity, like other world religions, surprisingly acknowledges the existence of a plurality of human messiahs. In this comparative work, philosopher Jad Hatem examines Mormonism’s Three Nephites, Buddhism’s Bodhisattva, and Islam’s Mahdi; distinctive messianic figures who postpone Heaven, sacrificially prolonging their lives for the benefit of humankind.

Intellectually Stimulating
I came to this by way of a footnote; and I’m pleased to have done so. Why?
My understanding of comparative scripture (study / analysis) is richer than otherwise.
Though nascent, my understanding of other religious traditions is expanded. And I am thus delighted.
Believing myself to be well-read, and perhaps particularly as relates to my faith, I am delighted to now in a richer and more profound way ponder the meaning and phenomena associated with messianicity, jen, charity, and so forth.
Delightful.
