A History of Religious Rules: A Legacy of Piety and Coercion - Paperback

by Claude Varner (Author)

This book is a history and a suggestion as to how to approach religious differences . It is not a work of theology. It is not about belief, faith, God, or salvation. The prophets and founders of the great monotheisms, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have brought stirring messages of fulfillment and hope through faith. Besides great spiritual visions, these messages have contained many rules concerning morals, ethics, organization, punishments, and piety. This book is typology and history of how these rules have played out over the last 2500 years.

The other religious questions about eternity, heaven, and paradise will, as always, be the subject of personal experience.
