The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Comparative Religions course, which includes:
- An examination of over 50 world religious views, always with a focus on the Word of God as truth.
- Weekly connections to the World Religions and Cults Generalized Timeline Chart with a church and denominational breakdown.
OVERVIEW: A world religion is a belief system that attempts to
explain some aspect of reality and often how the physical and spiritual
world operates, and yet it is independent of another world religion
(though they often have different sects, cults, or denominations). A
cult is typically defined as a religious offshoot of a major world
religion that no longer holds to the core tenets of that world religion.
This course cannot examine every world religion, cult, sect, or system,
but quite a few have been selected from different belief systems, and
these will be critiqued. Note: Because this course is very reading
intensive, a teacher might evaluate specific chapters they would prefer
to cover, or perhaps adjust the schedule provided to cover a two-year
period.
FEATURES: The calendar provides daily lessons with clear objectives and guided readings.
