About this Free Course

Until recently, the wisdom of the world’s many religions existed in separate silos blocked by barriers of language and distance. Now this collective wisdom is widely available, but without a guide to this enormous wealth of information and practice, we can quickly lose our way.  In this course, comparative religionist Kenneth Rose, PhD, will be your guide in learning about and practicing the religious and spiritual wisdom that can change your life and the life of your community. 


What You’ll Learn

This course provides clear and inspiring answers to many of life’s ultimate questions:

•Does life have an ultimate meaning?

•Is science the ultimate guide to the deepest truth of life?

•Does God, or a divine reality, exist?

•What practices can bring God, or a divine reality, into your own experience?

•Is death the end of life?
