340: Holy Texts



The Qur'an, The Bhagavad Gita, The Analects of Confucius, and The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

Go to the source. Instead of trusting the conflicting interpretations you hear about religion it's better to read the actual book. In November I'll have a post about the Bible. In the meantime check out the works listed here.

Why this is progressive/liberal: There are many progressive ideas in all the various holy texts, just as there are many conservative ideas, shocking ideas, moral tales, and notes of grace. Consider this an educational moment for the progressive rather than an explanation of progressive philosophy.

Buy the Kindle versions: The Qur'an, Bhagavad-gita, The Analects of Confucius, and The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu.
