Select two of the major world religious traditions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Summarize the key features of each and contrast them with each other and with the Greek philosophical tradition. Write a report in which you consider the following:
What sensations, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are expressed in religious rituals?
How have religious traditions preserved continuity through the ages from their historical origins to the present day?
