LD Russell, in the Department of Religious Studies, leads this weekly Monday program to teach the concepts, ideas and practices of several of the world's biggest religions.

Dear Sir...Thank you for your thorough presentation on Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. I look forward to listen to Taoism, Islam and Christianity. I have learned so much about Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism

[@sapnapathak.220]

The way of teaching is very interesting and informative.

[@OlgasBritishFells]

Love listening to this guy. You obviously need the prior knowledge to be able to fully appreciate his lectures. I love it how he expands on standard thinking in digs deeper.

I am a Hindu, and I love Isreal. Long live Indo-Isreal friendship. Bane Isreal were the only Isrealites who weren't exploited, they lived in India.

No mention of Zoroastrianism when discussing monotheism???

[@isrealsaba]

One serious thing in need of correction(

[@Brunofromaraguari]

Great class! Just an observation: it is important to say that Akhenaten'reform in ancient Egypt was not a monotheistic one, it was more a reform toward monolatry.

[@sarangabharathi]

Brilliant lecture as usual. The Egyptian king Dr Russel is referring to who believed in the existence of one God and insisted on the worship of him alone among the pantheon of Gods in Egypt was Sun as a disk or Aten. The name of the King was Akhenaten not Imhotep.

I have to make an amendment to my previous response two days ago that Mr. Russell starts off this video truly explaining the Jewish view of the Jewish religion (consistent with his other videos), but gradually begins to give his own understanding, or a scholarly historical view, of it. I'm only saying this because many people watching this might think that the entirety of his presentation is the Jewish view.

[@sonofblessed]

This is very interesting, but as an Orthodox Jew it seems to me that despite his effort that he's presenting Judaism from an outsider's perspective/from a standpoint of theory and conjecture, such as his explanation of the Golden Calf. Occasionally he dips into "Jewish mode" and presents some information from the Jewish perspective, but only here and there.

If you're here for the FMCC Comparative Religions class, do yourself a favor and watch this video on 1.25x speed.

[@avnerperl9935]

[@islandbuoy4]

correction ~ you have 1 minute to cover every 50 years...otherwise great stuff

[@Vandemataram-108]

Sir, Hinduism (snatan) is not a religion like Cristinity, Islam.. It is a way of life and is called snatan dharma. It is a large ocean of scientific culture. No can understand it without following it. It belongs to Nature totally.

[@sariputa0123]
