Comparative Religion

Final Essay Comparative Religion An Excellent Class! Rev. Lucinda Parker

Comparative Religion is a 20- week journey into the belief systems of the world, including everything from their deities to architecture to clothing and symbolism. This course is presented in full color, HTML format, and is nicely illustrated with web resources and further reading at the end of each discourse.

I enjoyed this class immensely!  It is well- written and covered topics we all need to at least be aware of. Author Rev. Kythera Ann did a superb job of presenting information without slanting it. She covered a lot of ground and not once did a discourse bore this reader. In fact, I have purchased a couple of books to further my knowledge as a result of taking this class. At times, I wished the discourses would arrive faster than once a week!

There is little I would change. Now that I have about 225 double-sided pages printed out and filed in my notebook, I do wish that either in the first lesson or the last, there was a Table of Contents for the course. (Each discourse has an excellent TOC at the beginning.) I have already referred to this class for information for other projects and will create a table of contents so I can find things a little faster.

Before taking this class, I had little knowledge of Eastern religions, particularly Jainism. As a result of this class, I better understand the bitterness and wars going on right now in parts of the world that have at least a partial basis in religious intolerance, such as jihad. Comparative Religions, Part 1 definitely covers all of the major religions in a factual, colorful and accurate manner. Many years ago I took a college class in comparative religion and all I remember of it was how boring it was. I wish Rev. Kythera Ann had been my professor then with the wealth of information she has gathered for this class.

If you only take one seminary class to further your studies, THIS IS THE ONE. I am anxiously awaiting the release of Part II to this course.
