Wisdom from World Religions

In 2017 I was awarded a $215,000 grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation (TWCF) to produce a free online course on world religions in light of a book by the noted financier and philanthropist Sir John Templeton. The name of the book is Wisdom from World Religions: Pathways Toward Heaven on Earth (Philadelphia and London: Templeton Foundation Press, 2002).

Along with my team, I produced an online course using a powerful LMS (learning-management system, which allowed us to give the course on two occasions to around 1500 students across the globe.

I am posting the overview video produced by Now You Know Media (now Learn25) and the syllabus (plan) for the course. The course contains 54 videos, and I will begin posting them here on Substack over the next weeks.

To get a sense of what’s coming, I am uploading a modified version of the course plan (syllabus).

More of my writing in written and spoken form is available on Amazon.
