520 |a In his 1989 book An Interpretion of Religion the eminent British philosopher of religion (and formerly philosophical theologian) John Hick provided a detailed view of what he saw as world religions, involving his wellknown and much-debated pluralistic hypothesis in terms of which he is able to see all those religions as valid paths to salvation/liberation.
