For most of my teaching career I have taught a course on world religions. I am not an expert in this area, but by teaching this over a number of years I have come to have some basic knowledge about most of the religions of the world. I like teaching the course becauses it raises some of those key issues at the heart of human life. All of the great religions of the world offer answers to questions that plague thoughtful people, questions such as the meaning of life, the purpose of individual human life, the afterlife and what it means to live a purposeful life here and now. These are the most interesting things to talk about and have the greatest significance for human life.
People often complain that such a course of study is too vague and impractical.
I argue that this is the most practical course that one will ever take, beacuse it is about the most basic issues in human life. Feel free to view my Religion Links . IL 60435 Tel.
