Beyond the Threshold is the first book to seriously consider the interplay between traditional world religions and metaphysical experiences in exploring the timeless question of what happens when we die. Christopher M. Moreman examines and compares the beliefs and practices of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, as well as psychic phenomena such as mediums and near-death experiences. While ultimately the afterlife remains unknowable, Moreman's unique, in-depth exploration of both beliefs and experiences can help readers reach their own understanding of the afterlife and how to live.

Excerpt from The Threshold of Religion At the International Congress for the History of Religions held recently in Oxford, several friends who listened to the paper on "The Conception of Mana," which appears fourth in the present collection, were kind enough to suggest that it ought to be published under one cover with various scattered essays wherein aspects of the same subject had previously been examined. The essays in question were: "Pre-Animistic Religion," Folk-Lore, June 1900, pp. 162-182; "From Spell to Prayer," Folk-Lore, June 1904, pp. 132-165; "Is Taboo a Negative Magic?" Anthropological Essays, presented to Edward Burnett Tylor in honour of his 75th birthday, October 2, 1907, pp. 219-234; and A Sociological View of Comparative Religion, Sociological Review, January 1908, pp. 48-60. By the kind leave of the Editor of Folk-Lore, the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, and the Editor of the Sociological Review, it has been possible to proceed to the realization of this idea, conceived as I have shown amid the fervent courtesies of a festive occasion.

Who is Hindu, who is Muslim? The answer, according to Dominique-Sila Khan, is not as simple as generally assumed. By analyzing documentary sources as well as original field data, she examines the shaping of religious identities in South Asia, particularly in North India. The author argues that the perception of Islam and Hinduism as two monolithic and perpetually antagonistic faiths coexisting uneasily in South Asia has become so deeply ingrained that the complexity of the historical fabric is often overlooked or ignored. She demonstrates how the emergence of clear-cut categories is a comparatively recent phenomenon, and shows how the past is characterized by a remarkable fluidity and diversity in the social and religious milieus of the two faiths. In exploring the historical mechanisms that have led to the emergence and crystallization of religious identities the author sheds light on the increasing number of conflicts which threaten the harmonious co-existence of South Asian communities today.
