World Religions Through Their Scriptures

The texts of the world's major religions have impact throughout all of human experience. Join professors from across Harvard as they discuss those texts during an event coinciding with the launch of HDS's new online course, "World Religions Through Their Scriptures."

The course is Harvard Divinity School's second massive open online course offered through the edX platform. Led by HDS Senior Lecturer Diane Moore, director of the Religious Literacy Project, the course will be taught by six faculty members and launched March 1, 2016.

If you believe me.. i am a Hindu and also a Buddhist and a Jain and a sikh. The founders of all these religions were Indians and we Hindus never think of them as different religions. This is because all these noble thinkers were reforms in society and Hinduism to make life of Indians better. Later people made it as different religions but the essence of all is same. So i love all religions and respect all. Love from India

Has anyone ever identified how all uplifting religions could coexist?
Maybe merge all religions readings?

What is religion? Is there any definition of religion in Bible or in Quran?

[naamphrik]

Written scriptures are often irrelevant. How do people actually live their lives as adherents to a particular religion? This is the question in Southeast Asian Buddhism.

[dayan]

Islam is to accept all prophets ending with Muhammad.
Therefore, you cannot submit and be called muslim without that complete acceptance.

[flexiblethinker]

You're all incorrect. My Religion(insert name here) is the most correct.

[SarveshShrivastava-vivg]

Is this what is being taught about Hinduism at Harvard? I am aghast

[adeobadebayo-doherty]

I will not lack righteousness, I will not lack bread.

[socksumi]

Too much placating of religion. I wish someone would take a more critical approach.

[rev.j.rogerallen]

I've been studying world religions for 48 years and you bore me to death.

[danielmcrabbi]

I need a scholarship to study at the Divinity School. I’m in Ghana.

Religion And Politics Are 2 Faces Of The Same Coins! They Both Divide People! Hinduism On One God!.... God Is One And Many In His Manifestations! God Don't Create He/She Manifest As Creations! All Lives Are The Manifestations Of A Higher Power! Vadic Schools of Thoughts! 🙏❤🙏

Prof. Dianne Moore, what's your email address? How can we invite you for a radio show interview?

"for Hinduism, scriptures are not a done deal. It's evolving..." Is this the way to talk about Vedas and Puranas?

Faith is called “Blind Faith “ for a reason . eg… As in the person who climbed Mount Everest who experienced the “ sensation of the Nirvana “ reaching those heights .. Only then, and only then does any individual person, can (experience) that experience… but for those of us who haven’t climbed up to the heavens, so to speak 🗣️, can only imagine and understand what they felt, same as in the “Word of the Lord Jesus Christ and His teachings of the true living son of God who descended from the heavens for our salvation, he was one of our greatest Mystic for lack of a better word. The Lord “Truth” that is in sprawled threw out our historical findings everywhere, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Syria etc… and til this day we find ourselves in a Covenant with Israel 🇮🇱 one in which “ The Lord made the covenant with, and we find ourselves in the midst of our (own spiritual journey ) … for the Virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ who was born .. again “blessed is he who believes without knowing The Lord… by the Holy Spirit 🕊️
The time is at hand.. I 🙏for all souls Amen.
