Description:

The largest religion in the world is Christianity, yet two thirds of the world’s population is not Christian—over four billion people. Islam is the fastest growing faith in the world. China and India have become not only two of the most influential world economies, but also exporters of religious ideas such as yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi that have captured the imagination of the West. Religious conflicts also become a source of strife and suffering in the world rather than comfort and peace. Drawing from his original writing and research, religious scholar Jeffrey Small will explore the critical topic of interfaith dialogue by highlighting key insights from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Presenter: Jeffrey Small, Jr. is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and lay theologian. He is the author of two works of fiction, The Breath of God and The Jericho Deception. He is also the author of an academic textbook on Christian - Buddhist discourse entitled God as the Ground of Being: Tillich and Buddhism in Dialogue. Jeffrey has been a popular religion blogger on the Huffington Post, an adjunct professor at Emory University, and a nationally acclaimed speaker on religion in the 21st century. He has a B.A. from Yale University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School, and a Masters Degree in the Study of Religions from Oxford University in England.
