Narrated by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, this series offers insights into the striking similarities and vast differences among the world’s major religions. Each volume studies the ways religion helps structure society, unifies and divides cultures, and shapes world events. Each 50-minute episode presents a fresh look at the history of our world through the eyes of that religion and its role in creating cultural diversity. Religions include Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Islam, Confucianism. This has been a very popular series in other churches. We begin this DVD-based series on January 8 at 10:00 am. Each class stands on its own, so come when you can.
