Facilitator: Dr. Ben Schewel

Explore your own spirituality by learning about the 'oneness' of the major world wisdom traditions. In this lecture, Dr. Benjamin Schewel (Duke University) describes the current research on the period during the middle centuries of the first millennium BCE, when a series of parallels and deeply resonate religious transformations gripped the main centers of civilization throughout Eurasia. It was during this time that Greek philosophy, Hebrew prophecy, classical Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Jainism, Upanishadic Hinduism, Confucianism, and Taoism were born.
