The five-volume series was designed for the World Exposition Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany to contribute to the dialogue of the world religions. After an introduction to the conflict of religion and the mission of a philosophy of the world religions, scholars of philosophy and religion from the east and west ring the three themes through the perspectives of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The 12 talks were presented to the first discourse, in Emden, German in September 1999. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Concept of God, the Origin of the World, and the Image of the Human in the World Religions
Thomason read a lot of great material in order to write this book (which I think was probably a master's thesis or dissertation). I agreed with almost all of it. I did graduate work in English and graduate work in gerontology, so a lot of her source material was familiar to me. She did conduct interviews unique to her book. I enjoyed "meeting" the women she interviewed. However, I found the book lacked focus and needed a stronger framework and a clearer linear argument (but maybe that is my male-centric graduate training at work?)
The biggest coup? Ordering "In the Ever After: Fairy Tales and the Second Half of Life" by Allan B. Chinnen, which Thomason mentions in her book. Chinnen read 4,000 fairytales and found only 2% had older people as protagonists. He collected 15 of these elder tales in the above book. Squee!
