Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Many Paths to the Baha'i Faith, How People of Different Faith Experiences Discover Fulfillment in the Baha'i Faith, author Nathan Thomas explores the process that many people go through when they investigate this new world religion. The book describes how many people from Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Native Faiths, and even agnostic backgrounds perceive and experience the Baha'i Faith. It summarizes some of the elements and teachings that people from these backgrounds often find in common with Baha'is, as the Baha'i Faith teaches that all religions come from the same foundation. It then explores some of the teachings and beliefs of the Baha'i Faith that are attractive to people. From their work for peace, justice, and equality; to their beliefs in the essential unity of science and religion and the practical approach to spiritual development, many people find aspects of this faith that intrigue them and draw them towards it. This religion, founded by a man named Baha'u'llah in the mid-1800's, offers something tangible and inspiring to every single person on the planet. And so when people have an open mind in their spiritual search, they often discover gems hidden in its depths that appeal to them. Lastly, the book explores some of the common challenges that some people overcome as they journey towards accepting this new world faith as their own. These challenges can come in many forms including new interpretations of scripture and prophesy, realizing new truths that overturn their preconceived notions, and believing that they have the personal power to change their lives and accept something new. With the help of illustrative stories, quotations from the Baha'i Holy Writings, and a brisk and conversational style, Many Paths to the Baha'i Faith can help people from a variety of backgrounds explore the Baha'i Faith from different perspectives.

Download or read book Indian Religions for Kids written by Asha Singh and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is the birthplace of many of the world's major religions that include Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. At the same time, other major religions such as Islam and Christianity also thrive. Islam is the second largest religion in India. In addition to this, there is a presence of the Bahai faith (one of the world's newest religion). Many years ago in the 18th century many Jews came to live in Bombay (now Mumbai). India was always a diverse nation in terms of culture and religion held intact by both custom and law. This is one of the reasons why India is home to many religions of the world. The world we live in is a very violent place, therefore teaching kids about various religions of the world will make our children more tolerant towards other faiths and teach them to connect with others. Do not leave children to find out about the various religious practices of the world themselves but teach them while they are still young and promote open mindedness. This book is about teaching children about the various religions that exist in India without going into too much detail. Table of contents: Hinduism Jainism Buddhism Sikhism Islam in India Christianity in India Zoroastrianism in India Judaism in India Bahai religion in India

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moral values and interpretive systems of religions are crucially involved in how people imagine the challenges of sustainability and how societies mobilize to enhance ecosystem resilience and human well-being. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Ecology provides the most comprehensive and authoritative overview of the field. It encourages both appreciative and critical angles regarding religious traditions, communities, attitude, and practices. It presents contrasting ways of thinking about "religion" and about "ecology" and about ways of connecting the two terms. Written by a team of leading international experts, the Handbook discusses dynamics of change within religious traditions as well as their roles in responding to global challenges such as climate change, water, conservation, food and population. It explores the interpretations of indigenous traditions regarding modern environmental problems drawing on such concepts as lifeway and indigenous knowledge. This volume uniquely intersects the field of religion and ecology with new directions within the humanities and the sciences. This interdisciplinary volume is an essential reference for scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities and for all those looking to understand the significance of religion in environmental studies and policy.
