Issues relating to the multiple means of enhancing life emerge not only in the Judeo-Christian faith traditions. Against the background of the Christian orientation in the Enhancing Life Project we see illuminative debates in other faith traditions which increasingly shape the life on this planet in the next centuries-in particular Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The following bibliographies with more recent publications reflect the inner-religious and academic debates about ways, means, techniques, and spheres for the enhancement of life. These conversations can provide enriching insights for the more Christianity oriented research projects and can be made available by scholars working in, on, or out of these faith traditions. Each of these World Faith Traditions can make quite specific contributions to the field of Enhancing Life Studies, one more on the transformation of public life, others more to the spiritual transformation of the person. We do expect that all of them are valuable reservoirs for the uncovering of spiritual laws.
