It offers basic access and in-depth insight into various approaches to the "big questions" (or issues of ultimate concern): where do we come from, what is our human role on earth, do we have a soul and what would that mean, what eschatological future (if any) can we envisage, what is the meaning of it all, is it possible to make a rational choice between the various religious belief systems, what is the good life, or a "life worth living", according to various religious traditions? Et cetera.
