Religions of the World

The religious landscape of North America is changing rapidly. New neighbors often mean "new" in unfamiliar religions. We receive many requests for programs that will introduce the basics of the various major religions. Here is an excellent series for that purpose. Narrated by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, this six-part series offers insights into the striking similarities and vast differences among the world's major religions: Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Buddhism. This series explores issues that probe the very core of our existence to gain new understanding about humanity. It travels to exotic locations to observe how religions have shaped cultures, changed history, brought us closer together and thrust us into war. And it takes us on a journey into a world of new spiritual thought - to rediscover our own.' '
