Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post. I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.
Meeghan had to take some time out, but luckily, she's back and has given us new topics.

This week’s topic is Religion.
I have read quite a few books about religion, all kinds of religion. So, I tried to list some books about different ones.
Buddha "The Dhammapada" (Sanskrit: धम्मपद) - ca. 300 BC
Harari, Yuval Noah "Sapiens. A Brief History of Mankind" (Hebr.: Ḳizur Toldot Ha-Enoshut/קיצור תולדות האנושות) - 2014
Mahfouz, Naguib "Children of Gebelawi" (aka Children of our Alley; arab: اولاد حارتنا Awlād ḥāritnā) - 1959
Schaik, Carel van & Michel, Kai "The Good Book of Human Nature: An Evolutionary Reading of the Bible" - 2016

The Dhammapada is a favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt gives us so much information about a religion and culture that we don't know so much about, don't you think, Stephen?
DeletePeople of the Book is one of my all time favorite books!!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is one of mine, Lisa. As is any other book by Geraldine Brooks.
DeleteI've been thinking of reading more about belief systems this year... [muses]
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is a good indication for you to start, Kitten. Have a look at the book I reviewed.
DeleteSapiens was a life-changing book for me.
ReplyDeletePeople of the Book is one of my favorite books by Geraldine Brooks. I though it fascinating.
I'm glad, Jane. Sapiens is definitely a fantastic book, and everyone should read it, especially those that rely only on one religious book, it gives us a lot of insight.
DeleteAnd Geraldine Brooks has written so many great books but I think, my favourite is also People of the Book.
