Introduction World Religions from a Christian Perspective Everyone believes in something. Why? The focus of this class is to understand religious humans and why they believe what they do, distinctly from a Christian perspective. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and some Chinese/Japanese traditions will be explored in theme, deity, writings, beliefs, and practices. In each subject, you can count on questions, discussion, and projects. “The Christian will confront the deepest meanings of the gospel, the good news of the Christian faith, with the challenges within the religions of revelation, authority, salvation, ethics, and peace” (Braswell, Jr. xvi). The text, Understanding World Religions, by George W. Braswell, Jr. will be the primary source of information, though it’s not necessary for purchase it will be beneficial. Recommended age is 13+ as the reading is a bit advanced and the discussions will be deep. (No worries, HEAT family, you know I have to also keep it fun!)
