The purpose of this series of texts is very simple. We have striven to
compile the best of the better known and the least known of the ancient sacred
texts from every religion throughout the world and throughout time.
It is our hope that this series of volumes makes it possible for a lay
reader to truly access some of the most important world literature in religion
without having to have a library of 5,000 books in their possession. In these
volumes, you will find everything you need to know to have a well-rounded and
deep understanding of the many different faiths and belief systems in our world.
As you peruse these texts, you may be surprised to find that the words
of Ancient Egyptian Prophet Hermes from 5,000 years ago are not nearly so
distant from the words of Christianity 2,000 years ago, nor the words of
Baha'u'llah just 175 years ago - as most of us might think.
There's a thread of unity which merges and molds these traditions
together, and that unity comes from the One True God who has spoken through
each and every one of them during their sojourn and time on this Earth. It is our
duty to preserve the line of wisdom which travels throughout the ages through
the voice of the Prophets.
Welcome to the journey of your life wherein you will travel to every
ancient, medieval and modern world and soar through the minds of the greatest
prophets, mystics, saints and sages that have walked this Earth!

Addendum: All texts used in this series come from sacred scriptures and other
documents which are in what is called 'Public Domain.' Where possible, proper
attributions are made to the original writer's and/or translators!
