Publisher's Synopsis
Since the dawn of civilization, religion has shaped the human mind and experience. But until recently, the world's religious traditions existed in different spheres, separated by barriers of culture and geography. Now, this audio series folds the teachings of the great faith traditions into one easy and illuminating educational experience. Grounded in a comparative religionist approach, this course introduces you to the principles and practices of eleven major religions: - Christianity - Judaism - Islam - Hinduism - Buddhism - Sikhism - Jainism - Zoroastrianism - Shinto - Taoism - Bahá'í As you take in this beautiful tapestry of wisdom, you'll gain insights into science, history, human existence, spirituality, and more, including the work of Sir John Templeton, a noted financier and investor who was deeply interested in the spiritual life and whose foundation and its associated prize have been instrumental in bringing about a revolution in science and religion. Taking cues from Templeton's book Wisdom from World Religions: Pathways Toward Heaven on Earth, you'll probe life's most profound questions: Does life have an ultimate meaning? Is science the key to the deepest truth of life? Is death the end? Embark on this adventure of the spirit today. This course was made possible through the support of a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation, Inc.
