Probes how profound life questions arising out of the experiential dimension find answers in the great myths and paradigm-laden narratives of the world's religions. Also discussed are the ways in which these answers shape religious activity among believers. Feature interviews include a Hindu describing the "Myth of the Ganges River," a Christian fundamentalist discussing the importance of the baptism ritual, and a discourse on death as a religious motivator in the Jerusalem graveyards above the Holy City.
