Course Description
This course offers a History of
Religion from the earliest known periods up to Christianity.
The course offers comparisons of various belief systems,
including some of the groups often referred to as 'cults'.
The subject is treated from a broad-minded point of view
in an effort to look for the basic truth upon which each
religion was founded and to note the similarities and
differences among them. An understanding of the older religions
offers the student a better comprehension of Modern Thought.
Knowledge of religious history
helps the student gain consciousness of the Universality
of all Truth. Understanding of other religious beliefs
fosters a better understanding of other individuals, nations
and races.
