Sep 23, 2018
4,000 Years of Divine Curriculum–What Has God Been Teaching Us?

Quotes used in the Presentation

This will be an overview of the concepts presented in the book by Edward Price–The Divine Curriculum: Divine Design (Volume 1). The central idea is that “all of creation is a classroom”. How does the classroom function? Focusing on the Abrahamic lineage, this talk will provide an overview of the history, teachings and contribution to civilization provided by Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, The Báb, and Bahá’u’lláh. Connections between these towering Spiritual Founders will be discussed. How does the curriculum (i.e. the teachings) unfold over time, according to what principles does it operate, and towards what goals does it strive?
