Throughout the history of organised religion, and to the present day, religious discrimination, hatred, exploitation, bloodshed and terrorism, have blighted humanity, while love, peace and unity have been difficult to come by. These problems appear rooted in the contradictory and exclusive doctrines of salvation propagated by different religions. While Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the son of God only through whom human beings would obtain salvation, other religions insist that salvation comes only through the observance of the tenets of their own faiths. So, does humanity need a salvation, and does any religion provide the route to it? Fantasy of Salvation is a meticulous study of the doctrine of salvation and the means of its achievement in the world's major religions, especially the Abrahamic faiths. In his exploration of the central claims in these faiths, author Dr. Emeka Modeme asks and answers with scriptural authority many fundamental questions, including the following: -Does humankind need a messiah?-Will salvation come through Jesus Christ, the Jewish covenants and law, the prescriptions of the Holy Quran, or the tenets of any other religion?-Who really was Jesus? Was he God or man?-Are the gospels factual or a mere expression of religious faith?-Are there indeed devil and demons from whom human beings need deliverance?-Will there be an apocalypse, and eternal reward or punishment for human beings? Dr. Modeme thoroughly examines the Christian, Jewish and Islamic salvation claims relative to historical, philosophical, and other religious perspectives. The results of his examination are staggering and broad, and his arguments sound and compelling. Anyone who has ever asked or entertained tough questions about the theology of apocalypse and salvation will find in this book satisfying vindications of their curiosity. Scepticism of archaic ideas is one of the hallmarks of our species: Does humanity need salvation in the religious sense, or does it need salvation from antiquated and unfounded tenets of religion that keep us ignorant, disconnected from God, and in constant conflict?
