Asplin also examines the significance of the east in various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.In the second part of the book, Asplin provides a detailed analysis of the theological and philosophical implications of worshiping towards the east. He explores the symbolism of the east as a source of light and life, and how this relates to the concept of God as the giver of life and light.
