Resumen del Editor
The religious experience is an extraordinarily powerful force that can define and shape the communities it creates. Over the course of 24 lectures, Professor Jones takes a vibrant first look at the discipline known as religious studies and shows how other fields - sociology, psychology, anthropology, and phenomenology - have tried to explain the complex relationship between individuals, cultures, and faith.
This relationship is as old as the first human quest for answers to fundamental questions of life, death, and what may lie beyond. Here you'll trace the idea of studying religion itself, drawing not only on the challenging and provocative collection of theories from the many disciplines that have influenced the development of religious studies, but also on revealing anecdotes and illuminating case studies that make this course a surprising delight.
You'll explore the way "functional" anthropologists such as Malinowski and A. R. Radcliffe-Brown helped pull their discipline out of the drawing room and into the field to study a given culture. You'll also study Immanuel Kant's phenomenology, his theory that we can never make actual contact with the external world but can know it only from the internal images our minds construct from the raw data pulled in by our senses.
By examining belief and what it means - for believers and nonbelievers alike - you'll come away with a solid grasp of the major thinkers and ideas that have contributed to this fascinating field of study, including their strengths and weaknesses, as well as insights into many aspects of religious life, belief, and practices - insights that may well have applications in your own life, whether or not you adhere to a religious faith.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Historia
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

Historia
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

Why do you have trouble controlling certain behaviors? Why do you behave differently as an adult than you did as an adolescent?Since the start of recorded history, and probably even before, people have been interested in answering questions about why we behave the way we do.

Historia
What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

These 12 illuminating lectures paint a rich and detailed portrait of the life, works, and ideas of this remarkable figure, whose own search for God has profoundly shaped all of Western Christianity. You'll learn what Augustine taught and why he taught it – and how those teachings and doctrines helped shape the Roman Catholic Church. These lectures are rewarding even if you have no background at all in classical philosophy or Christian theology.

For billions of people, having a religious belief system provides purpose in life. For some, religion serves as a guide for moral behavior. After many years exploring the foundations of various world religions, Jason Boyett has written this comprehensive, easy-to-understand exploration of the 12 major world religions through a meticulous, yet unbiased lens. 12 Major World Religions offers an impartial look at where each of these belief systems intersects, how they differ, and why some have been - or are currently - misunderstood.

Not what I expected
The first part is a review of various philosophies and what they had to say about religion in general. Later chapters dealt more directly with religion and God. At the end, the professor talked about how we might use some of the philosophies discussed even if none are accurate for all religious.

Serious but accessible introduction to the field
Having read other books on religious studies before, I find that this course does an excellent job of introducing all of the most influential ways of looking at religion. It conveys as well a clear sense of how the field has changed over time, and does so from a very balanced perspective.
Compared to the other courses and audiobooks available on the subject, this is exceptional in how serious and up-to-date its treatment of the material is. It could be better, though. Some people I think have complained that it is "too theoretical." The problem is not too much theory, but rather a bit more emphasis on where each theory came from and not enough on how it has been used more recently. Thus, much time is spent on the biography of each thinker and the particular cases he (always "he") considered. For example, we hear a lot about how Emile Durkheim thought religion helped create social unity among Australian aborigines, but almost nothing about how many scholars have subsequently drawn on his ideas to examine religion and communal ties in other societies, including our own.
The speaker is very engaging--I always listened to this while commuting or doing chores, and never found myself losing track of the lecture.

Good overview
Would you consider the audio edition of Introduction to the Study of Religion to be better than the print version?
N/A
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
The lecturer's thinking seems very clear. The lectures are, I thought, well organized. The structure and progression is determined on the one hand by people (e.g., a lecture on one particular thinker) and on the other by approach (e.g., all the lectures about approaching religion from the standpoint of psychology are grouped together).
Have you listened to any of Professor Charles B. Jones’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
N/A
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
N/A
Any additional comments?
The title should make it clear that this is about the (academic) study of religion and NOT about the content or this or that religion, so anyone who wants to learn about this or that religion should look elsewhere. There is a lot about anthropology, sociology, and psychology. I only point this out because there's always a chance that someone will mistakenly think that this course includes much about the content of the various religions, though as I said the title should make it clear that that this is about Religious Studies, not theology.

Interesting Introduction to Religious Studies
I enjoyed this multifaceted and interesting introduction to the study of religious philosophy. These lectures held my attention and inspired me to further study of religion from several different disciplines.

Fabulously written and executed
For anyone confused this course isn’t about specific religions or even comparative religion. This course is an excellent overview of PHILOSOPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY as it related to religions. Since there are practically an infinite amount of religions and no one truest understands why it is fascinating listening to a master of the subject discuss the history of how the learned understand WHY religion is practiced.

Philosophical look into religion
Unlike Comparative Religion (the study of different world religions), this audiobook is about religion in general, such as what purpose it serves in society and why people would believe in the dogma of a religion.

Not at all what i was looking for
I guess this is an introduction to religious studies, though it felt more like an introduction to social studies using religion as an example. Much of the course is examining sociology, psychology and anthropology and then touching on how those have been used in religious contexts.
The professor does touch on a lot of thinkers you don't hear about in other (less in-depth) intro to religious studies courses. The professor is very good about not dismissing outdated ideas, but giving them their full due. So if that is what you are interested in, you might like this course. If I was studying for a degree in religious studies I think there is good information here.
I think I would choose another professor, though.
At one point the professor uses the old analogy "if all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail" which is interesting because toward the end of many of the sections i felt like i was being beaten over the head with some point he was trying to make. Which is to say he wastes a lot of time repeating/over explaining things when he could be covering other issues.
If you are interested in how religions manifest different religious perspectives and how those relate to academic theories of religion, this is not the course for you.
If you are interested in how a bunch of philosophers and academics have tried to define religion without learning anything about actual religious expression, this might be of interest.
I'm giving three stars because I think others might like this course. Personally it was an annoying waste of time.

Not about religion
This is the study of a study. Did not learn anything interesting. He just talks about people, who talked about an interesting subject. That makes for an extraordinarily boring listen.
