From Gaia to Zen is an exploration in faith. This World Religions text offers articles on different themes running the religious gambit; reincarnation, sacrifice, cults, and medicine wheels are expanded upon. Much more is discussed. Several religious texts are covered (the Book of the Dead, Bhagavad-Gita, Zend-Avesta, and the Daodejing among them). In this edition, a Music in Religion section has been included. I find this an interesting topic and a rather central element to most religions. This etext also includes Research Notes gathered during the making of my world religions text. In here, you’ll find entries on many world religions from First Nations to Hinduism, to Bacon, Jediism and many others. The main religions are covered, but also some you might not have expected, and several philosophies are offered as well. Their history, main arguments, and assorted details are explored where possible for each.
