Spirituality, Religious Thought Publisher's Summary: With few
exceptions, the world's religions are anchored in their sacred
texts-core writings that express the ideals and vision of the
faiths, forming a basis for belief and action. Humanity's library
of sacred writings is a huge canon that includes many of the most
influential books ever written. In addition to the Hebrew and
Christian bibles and the Quran of Islam, major sacred writings
include the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Sutras, Daoism's Daodejing,
and the Analects of Confucius, as well as the beloved texts of
religions such as Zoroastrianism and Jainism, and modern faiths
such as Baha'i. These are texts that people live by and, at times,
are willing to die for. In these 36 lectures, Professor Hardy takes
you deeply into the body of sacred writings that have played a
fundamental role in human culture and history. Discussing a broad
range of texts, the course examines the scriptures of seven major
religions, as well as nine lesser known or smaller faiths,
including texts from the ancient Egyptian and Mayan societies. In
addition to studying the scriptures of the Judeo-Christian and
Islamic worlds, you'll discover religious texts from vastly
differing cultures around the world. These richly insightful
lectures highlight a global legacy of faith, thought, and
spirituality. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the
