CH 1 Reading Guide Part 2

The document discusses dimensions of religion and asks the student to list the 7 dimensions, describe an example for each, and identify which dimensions are most/least important to their own religion or life philosophy. It also includes a quote asking whether there can be more than one true religion if ultimate reality is the same for all, and if religions essentially agree though using different words from different cultures.

Faith Foundations NAME:________________________________________________ World Religions: A Voyage of Discovery Ch. 1 Studying the Worlds Religions Part 2 1.

2)

3)

4)

5)

6)

7)

2. Which of the dimension(s) do you feel is/are the most important in your religion/life philosophy and why? Which are less important and why? (This is just your opinion no right or wrong answer). (6 pts.)

3. Personally respond to this quote from the text (may need to continue on the back of this sheet of paper) (10 pts.) . . .it would seem that by definition, ultimate reality must be the same for all humans. Certainly the monotheistic religions consider God to be the God of all. But if that is the case, can there be more than one true religion? Are the religions saying essentially the same things, even though they are using different words filtered through different historical and cultural frameworks? Are they in basic agreement about the truth?
