About

The power of the written word has shaped our world. In the beginning, alphabets and reading aloud the written word were considered a form of magic by many. Particularly with those words that are reported to be of divine origins, few technologies have been considered so threatening or caused such division as the invention of writing. Every continent has seen the burning of books (and people) for the ideas they contained. In Great Britain, many were burned alive for the grievous sin of wanting to read their Bible in their own language.

With this in mind I begin an undertaking that few up to this point in history ever had the opportunity to do. I intend to read as many of the sacred texts as I can (roughly one every week or two) and provide my analysis and commentary as I go. All from the Baha'i, the Druids, and the Jains will be represented.
