I am in love with Wilde,
heavily pity Poe,
and frankly, couldn't really care for frost.
If you've always wondered why those three names are familiar, this is a great book to become a little more acquainted with these three gentlemen .

A humble giant of wisdom and powerful compassion

Revisado: 12-20-15

This is a very important book. It's a beautiful way to understand how we can treat others ethically, think about the logic of ask encompassing ethics, looking at the wonderful connections between people and their beliefs, whether religious, agnostic, atheist, And it's easy to like that Martin Sheen is reading it all to us.

charming voice narrating cliches

Revisado: 12-20-15

the idea that there shouldn't be a reason to not be happy is not a bad idea at all. It is also far from being an original one.
If you are looking for shallow messages of hope equivalent to a "Hang in There" cat poster narrated by a good ole' southern boy with a mansion, then look no further.

My absolute FAVORITE of the Great Courses.

Revisado: 07-25-15

Would you listen to Cultural Literacy for Religion: Everything the Well-Educated Person Should Know again? Why?

"would you listen to it again? Why?" Already have. I completely adore the way Professor Mark Berkson has arranged and presented the information. The attention he gives each religion and/or philosophy is done with so much respect. His energy and very accessible lectures show his passion for the subject.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The best way to put it is that he explains each religion almost as if he's part of it explaining it to a lay person. I feel like he looks at the motives of whichever religion and its followers. It's really helped me with how I view others, their beliefs, and has shown the beauty that beliefs can give the human race.

Which scene was your favorite?

His explanation of Daoist philosophy. Most people say it's pessimistic, which has always disappointed me. He hits it right on the head.

If you could give Cultural Literacy for Religion: Everything the Well-Educated Person Should Know a new subtitle, what would it be?

One step closer to an all-inclusive world.

Any additional comments?

If you clicked on this book page, you should get this. It's a wonderful way to understand a bit more about our world, the people on it, and what makes them tick.

SO glad I picked this up.

I have learned a bit about the French Revolution and I had learned that very much of it was inspired by Voltaire and it made me we want to understand a bit about him. I got this with a pretty good deal and I absolutely adore it. The reading, or should I say acting, is completely superb. The characters all have such wonderful voices that really bring out the characteristics of that person. the attitude, the humor, and the tragedy are so wonderfully displayed in this I really recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for fun, almost satirical poke at the world, and the ways of the human race. I just finished it, and the next book I'm going to listen to? This one. Again.
