Five traditions, described fairly
Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and secular perspectives, each quoted from its own primary texts rather than characterised second-hand.
The difficult questions too
Pork, polygamy, the age of ʿĀʾishah, the crucifixion, whether all paths lead to the same truth. Answered academically, with the disagreements left visible.
Fourteen languages
The complete course, comparisons and citations — plus narrated lessons — in Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu.
Where this stands
This is a pre-release build under supervised review. The content has not yet been signed off by a qualified scholar, by specialists in the traditions it describes, or by native-language editors — and no language should be described as approved. It is published here so that those reviewers can read the real material rather than a summary of it.
It is educational. It issues no religious rulings, asks nobody to convert, and does not replace qualified pastoral, scholarly, legal or medical advice.
