One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice.Since the beginning of recorded civilization roughly 6,000 years ago, religious groups have been making war on someone. What is there in monotheism and in the three faiths that most clearly represent this idea—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—that has made them so aggressive? The world was once destroyed by flood; all three faiths believe that it will once again be destroyed by flames. Is this inevitable? What do we mean by the end of time? Will our grandchildren live to have children? How does an academic approach to the study of these topics prepare us for the world to come? What is Millennialism? Eschatology? The meaning of the Apocalypse? This fascinating, fast-paced video lecture will cover all this and more.
