    http://www.unification.net/ws/wsintr4.htm
    
    Extractions: Judaism and Christianity Both Judaism and Christianity no longer practice the scriptural laws of animal sacrifices. But while for Judaism the mitzvot, the ethical and ritual commandments of the Bible, remain normative, and are elaborated in the Talmud as the halakah or requirements of life, Christianity has regard only for the Bible's ethical teachingsi.e., the Ten Commandments. Christianity emphasizes faith in Jesus Christ, who gives grace, empowerment, and guidance for living the moral life.[2] Judaism teaches a life of holiness through performing mitzvot and emphasizes the importance of adhering to the Bible's standards of social justice as laid down by the Prophets. The two religions have also diverged on the meaning of the Fall of Man; Christianity affirms a doctrine of Original Sin which is not emphasized in Judaism. These deep differences extend to the way Judaism and Christianity regard their sacred writings. Judaism regards its sacred books as the complete source for all the teachings which God requires of his people for their welfare. For Christianity, the sacred books of Judaism, called the Old Testament, are taken as a preparation for the final revelation that God would make through Christa revelation that is written in the books of the New Testament.

    Extractions: Each of the world religions discussed by Stormwind is considered from five basic perspectives, or dimensions, within a framework of scholarship called phenomenology Ritual Dimension includes all the various outward behaviors which reflect the believers’ inner desires to connect with the invisible world the world of deity, spirit, higher consciousness, nirvana whatever the religion in question sees as the focus of its worship or concentration. Ritual includes not only obvious behaviors such as prayer, ceremony, sacrifice, and offerings directly addressed to the invisible world, but also activities that train a person’s mind and body to better experience the invisible world, such as exercises found in Yoga, Zen, and monastic Christianity, to name only a few. Mythological Dimension of a religion includes all the stories, histories, and narratives that describe believers’ contacts with and struggles toward the invisible world. The word myth is used here in a very specific sense, which is not the one common to everyday speech. When a person speaks of myth in informal conversation, he or she is usually implying a degree of fantasy or outright untruth. In the study of religion, however, truth or falsity has nothing to do with myth. Myth merely means a story, a narrative, something that is said as part of a religion’s oral or written tradition. The angel Gabriel’s appearances to Muhammad are myth, but so also is the history of Muhammad’s life. Accounts of the missionary fervor of the Buddhist Emperor Asoka are myth, as are stories of the boundless compassion of Kuan-yin. The creation of Adam and Eve is myth, but so also are the accounts of Paul’s journey.

53. InterFaith Online

This site contains links, a forum, and original essays representing a variety of religions and religious experiences. All research was carried out in Asheville, NC.  
    http://www.warren-wilson.edu/~religion/newifo/index.shtml
    
    Extractions: The Harvard Pluralism Project Interfaith On-Line, featuring "Asheville’s Spiritual Odyssey," began during the 1998-1999 school year in conjunction with an affiliate partner grant from Harvard University’s "Pluralism Project." Dr. Jeanne Matthews Sommer, a Religious Studies faculty member at Warren Wilson College, received the grant in the spring of 1998. The purpose of the grant was to explore the religious diversity which exists in the Asheville/Buncombe county region. Under the direction of Dr. Sommer, nearly forty students have engaged in experiential research projects on a variety of world religions which are represented in Asheville. Student research has been conducted through three different courses: two sections of "World Religions in Asheville: Field Research," and one section of "America’s Alternative Religions." Each student in the two, semester long "World Religions" classes was required to choose a particular religion and conduct extensive experiential research (eight site visits and/or interviews) and text-based research. Each student developed a particular thesis which was of personal interest and for the purpose of writing a twenty page research paper. S/he also gathered basic demographic information from which to create various templates for each religion. Students in the course "America’s Alternative Religions" did less extensive experiential research (one site visit and one interview) in addition to text based research which culminated in a ten page paper.

    http://www.probe.org/docs/world.html
    
    Extractions: There are three monotheistic religions in the world, religions that teach that there is only one God: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The term "Islam" means "submission" to the will of God, and the person who submits is called a "Muslim." The founder of Islam is Muhammad, who was born in 570 A.D. At age 40 he claimed to begin receiving revelations from a spirit being he believed was the angel Gabriel. These later were recorded and became the Qur'an, Islam's holy book. There are Six Articles of Faith that all Muslims hold to. The first is that "there is no God but Allah." The second Article of Faith is belief in a hierarchy of angels, of which the archangel Gabriel is the highest. Each Muslim is assigned two angels, one to record his good deeds and the other to record the bad deeds. At the bottom of the angelic hierarchy are the jinn, from which we get the word "genie." They are a Muslim version of demons. The third Article of Faith is belief in 104 holy books, with the Koran as the final revelation. The fourth is belief in the prophets. According to the Qur'an, God has sent a prophet to every nation to preach the message that there is only one God. 124,000 prophets have been sent, most of them unknown but some of them biblical characters, including Jesus. Muhammed, though, is the prophet for all times, the "Seal of the Prophets." The fifth Article of Faith is belief in predestination. All things, both good and evil, are the direct result of the will of Allah. Islam is a very fatalistic religion.

    Extractions: "Sociology of the World Religions: Introduction" by Max Weber By 'world religions,' we understand the five religions or religiously determined systems of life-regulation which have known how to gather multitudes of confessors around them. The term is used here in a completely value-neutral sense. The Confucian, Hinduist, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamist religious ethics all belong to the category of world religion. A sixth religion, Judaism, will also be dealt with. It is included because it contains historical preconditions decisive for understanding Christianity and Islamism, and because of its historic and autonomous significance for the development of the modern economic ethic of the Occidenta significance, partly real and partly alleged, which has been discussed several times recently. References to other religions will be made only when they are indispensable for historical connections.

    Extractions: Max Weber By 'world religions,' we understand the five religions or religiously determined systems of life-regulation which have known how to gather multitudes of confessors around them. The term is used here in a completely value-neutral sense. The Confucian, Hinduist, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamist religious ethics all belong to the category of world religion. A sixth religion, Judaism, will also be dealt with.

References to other religions will be made only when they are indispensable for historical connections. What is meant by the 'economic ethic' of a religion will become increasingly clear during the course of our presentation. This term does not bring into focus the ethical theories of theological compendia; for however important such compendia may be under certain circumstances, they merely serve as tools of knowledge. The term 'economic ethic' points to the practical impulses for action which are founded in the psychological and pragmatic contexts of religions. The following presentation may be sketchy, but it will make obvious how complicated the structures and how many-sided the conditions of a concrete economic ethic usually are. Furthermore, it will show that externally similar forms of economic organization may agree with very different economic ethics
