momto2Cs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I think we have settled on Oak Meadow's World Geography course for fall. I'd like to add in a good overview of world religions as we go... any suggestions for a [secular] family to read through? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momling Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 We used the teacher created materials workbook and it was just what we needed -- Short primary source readings with questions, historical and biographical information, activities, maps, information about holidays and modern religious practice. I found it interesting and useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momtolgd Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 We will be reading through this book as we work through Bookshark's Eastern Hemisphere core. We havent started this book yet as we just started the core on Monday, but you can read reviews at amazon. It looks to be an unbiased view of the major religions of the world. HTH! http://www.amazon.com/One-World-Many-Religions-Worship/dp/0679839305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
