World Religions Basics

Better understanding of other religions' views afford me the position to be kind to them while ministering Jesus to them.

Outstanding lessons.

I really enjoyed learning about the basics of world religions. I also liked that we can learn to respect and value other peoples' religions around the world, and also share our beliefs in God, and keeping a heart open toward those who have different views on religions and other view on beliefs and practices. I liked the six principles relationship, our desire to be good neighbors with people of cultural and religious backgrounds. Being genuine, respectful, humble, fair, discerning, and discreet. I enjoyed reading all the other chapters and lessons, about Beliefs of God and Creation, Beliefs about Sacred Scriptures, Hinduism, Islamic, Buddhism, and Judeo-Christian View of Sacred Scriptures. In the core of every human being we know there is a Creator. This course has helped me understand the basics of word religions.

I learned a lot in this course. This course lets you know about the major world religions and what each believe and practice.

This course was excellent. I would highly recommend it. It covered the basic similarities and differences between the five major religions in an easy to follow and understand manner. I even learned a few new things and had some things clarified for me in this class, which isn't easily done because I have been a believer who takes studying seriously for a very long time.

I have a better understanding of Hinduism and Buddhism.

I enjoyed learning about other religions and cultures.

Eye-opener and better equips us to speak to other people of different religious backgrounds.

This course provided me with knowledge that I did not previously have about other religions. It was very helpful.

The course was a good basic primer on each of these four religions.  

Good and comprehensive introduction to comparative religion, that can prepare the way to other learning. A suggestion is that perhaps the final chapter can conclude with a summary table of the main points of the major religions, thus allowing at a glance a quick survey of the similarities and differences. Nevertheless, the material has been insightful and helpful.

It's a good course and helpful to educate people about world religions.

I really enjoyed this course and learned new some new things about sikhs.

It's a lot of material to take in, however, this course is insightful as well as educational. This course is something to utilize moving forward when facing the various challenges also experiences associated with the content.

I enjoyed this course and learned a lot from it, and it has provoked a desire to learn more about the different world religions. However, I feel a little disappointed that the majority of people accessing this course will be Christians who want to learn more about the faith of others, and yet the course is heavily biased toward Christianity. For example, lesson 5, the lesson on Salvation, is 17.25 mins long, whereas Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam get 7 minutes between them. The remaining 10 minutes focus on the Christian Faith. It is the same in some of the other lectures also. I would have preferred more information on the non-Christian faiths but I still enjoyed the course and found it useful.

Really appreciate the course

Very useful as it provides a comprehensive summary of the major religions.

Wonderful course. I enjoyed all of it and learned a great deal.

An excellent course!

I am so thankful for this course because it provided me with the basics of understanding other world religions that differ from my belief in Christianity and it helped me to interact with love, without giving in to a conceited attitude about my belief.

It is relatively light covering Buddism.

Informative

I was highly intrigued because I am rather interested in other religions and how they are similar yet also different from each other.

Good information, a little confusing on some parts; less is more.

This course expended my understanding of other religious views as well as making me think deeper than I have in the past. I enjoyed the challenge to my brain. Thank you for making it available.

Very informative. Delivered in a comprehensive manner.

Good overview without being overwhelming.

Very interesting course. Eye opening. Did not realize how much Islam and Christianity have in common. Did not realize that Buddhism and Hinduism had such commonalities. Thank you.

Enjoyed the course. I like the way it helped me to learn the key points of each of the most common religions. It also helped me to see clearly the differences between them. It also helped me to solidify my faith by reminding me why I love being a Christian!
