Professor Keith E. Yandell has emphasized the importance of evaluating religions, theistic and non-theistic, as conceptual systems. In doing so he has compared and contrasted Jewish and Christian monotheism with Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta Hinduism, and Jainism, emphasizing the relevance of cross-cultural comparisons. In keeping with his criteria for the assessment of conceptual systems, he has considered monotheism in light of the problem of evil, religious pluralism, and Hume's account of religious belief. Furthermore, Dr. Yandell has argued for the evidential value of numinous experience and analyzed accounts of the incarnation and Trinity, as well as Buddhist and Jain accounts of personal identity.
