"I'm excited to be teaching World Religions on-line for the first time at NIU. It's a course that everyone should take, whether you're interested in the origins of your own religion or in the relationships among Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Perhaps you'd like to learn more about eastern religions and what he similarities are between Buddhism and Hinduism."
--Laura Bird Ph.D.
