Wisdom from World Religions: Overview
The Promotional Videos and the Syllabus from my 2018-19 Online Course Funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation
A Templeton Grant
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 promotional videos produced by Now You Know Media (now Learn25) and the syllabus (plan) for the course. The course contains around 70 videos, which I post here on Substack over the next few months.
