Founders of Faith: The Parallel Lives of God's Messengers

by Harold Rosen

Overview

Founders of Faith explores the lives of the Founders of the world’s major religions—including Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and the Bahai Faith—and reveals that they are linked by sets of striking patterns. These patterns suggest that our world’s religions share universal teachings and have a common divine source. Author Harold Rosen explains how the Founders of the major religions function as the Teachers of Humanity. It summarizes the patterns among these Founders; how their station differs from seers, visionaries and minor prophets; their universal teachings; and how these teachings generated not only the civilizations that embraced them, but humanity’s civilizing process as a whole. Founders of Faith provides an examination of a five-stage theory of the rise and fall of religious civilizations, an illustrative overview of six such civilizations, as well as the background and apparent shape of the emerging global civilization.
