Path to Faith
About
Path to Faith is a private, judgment-free study group where we read and discuss books of faith — sacred texts, philosophical writings, and spiritual works from around the world.
This isn’t a conversion class, sermon series, or debate club. It’s a space to read, question, compare, and understand the words that have shaped human thought for centuries.
We start with one major text at a time — exploring its stories, historical context, cultural background, and the ideas that still resonate today. Every few months we’ll move to a new book, such as the Bhagavad Gītā, Torah, Qur’an, Dhammapada, or Tao Te Ching, and occasionally non-organized traditions and indigenous philosophies.
Whether you’re Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, atheist, agnostic, or just spiritually curious, you’re welcome here.
The goal isn’t to promote or dismiss any religion. It’s to read the text, think critically, and ask what lessons — if any — still matter in the 21st century.
Everyone’s welcome.
