These patterns suggest that our world’s religions share universal teachings and have a common divine source. Author Harold Rosen explains how the Founders of the major religions function as the Teachers of Humanity. It summarizes the patterns among these Founders; how their station differs from seers, visionaries and minor prophets; their universal teachings; and how these teachings generated not only the civilizations that embraced them, but humanity’s civilizing process as a whole. \u003ci\u003eFounders of Faith\u003c\/i\u003e provides an examination of a five-stage theory of the rise and fall of religious civilizations, an illustrative overview of six such civilizations, as well as the background and apparent shape of the emerging global civilization.","brand":"Baha'i Publishing Trust, U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47181364494576,"sku":"9781618510112","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781618510112_p0.jpg?v=1763854123","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781618510112","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
