The World’s Religions: A 15‑Episode Audiobook Series — General Introduction
Across millennia, humans have buried their dead with flowers, sung to the dawn, argued about truth, and fed strangers. Out of those gestures grew religions—vast, tender, and sometimes dangerous attempts to make meaning together. The World’s Religions: A 15‑Episode Audiobook Series is a guided journey through that living landscape.
We begin at the firelight of prehistory, tracing the origins of belief. Then, episode by episode, we enter Judaism, Christianity, Islam; the plural worlds of Hinduism and the ascetic blaze of Jainism; the Buddha’s path; Sikh courage; Daoist softness and Confucian order; Zoroastrian fire; the conscience of atheism and secular humanism; the ferment of new religious movements; a comparative weave of shared themes and sharp differences; and finally, a look toward science, technology, and the futures of faith.
Our approach is simple: tell a good story, keep our facts straight, and listen hard. We read scriptures and inscriptions, track rituals through kitchens and city squares, and let philosophers, mystics, reformers, and skeptics speak in their own strongest voices. We refuse caricature. We won’t pretend all paths are the same; nor will we sneer at what we do not share.
You’ll meet prophets and poets, emperors and exiles, saints and doubters. You’ll hear how communities answer the oldest questions—Where did we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live?—and how those answers shape art, law, calendars, and care for the poor.
Bring curiosity and humility. Leave with a larger map—and a steadier compass. Press play; let the journey begin.
