A book for everyone, young or old, who wants to learn about the spiritual life of humanity and the founders of man's faith throughout the ages. Reverently told, fascinating biographies of Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Buddha, Confucius, Lao-Tze and all who have led mankind to the heights of religious experience.
Man's endless search for the meaning of life is illustrated in these inspiring stories about the spiritual leaders who founded the world's great religions: Buddha and Jesus, Zoroaster and Mohammed, Martin Luther and many others.
Here is an enlightening history that compares the differences and similarities in each religion, and underscores the spirit of brotherhood and peace that is the basic principle of all faiths.
"In How The Great Religions Began, Mr. Gaer has told the story of the religions simply, entertainingly, instructively and reverently. He has written as one believing that some divine spirit has tried to reveal itself to man in every one of the great faiths; as one believing that in each of them there is valuable truth."
