Geto college textbooks. They are laid out in such a way  to get generald concepts. If you get any other book, it will probably be too detailed.  \n\n\nAre you in college? Consider taking these classese too. I like interdisiplinary views as well.

There is a catagory for that. It's under "society & culture", then click on "Religion & Spirituality".

Why, Theology WITHOUT Sociology is like a peanut butter sandwich without the peanut butter! How can one understand religious ideologies, choices, and freedoms without understanding the separate cultures from which they spring?\nMost certainly the latter must be woven into any Theological study, in my opinion.

you could do theology. I did my paper on argument between theology and teleology. depending on your level of understanding (i don't know what class you're in), you could discuss similarities and differences between paley's and ayala's argument. lemme know if you need more help. i'll post a few websites for you to research this topic in depth.

Hi, books to read include manifesto of the communist party; Das Capital and for extra bonus points try condition of the english working class by Engels. They worked together on topics of mutual interest.\n\nTry either of the sources below.

I love psychology, but you're right about the amount of reading at first. It gets easier later on, though, because you know most of the stuff from the other courses you've already taken. And you get to do research as an undergrad if you're lucky! I also liked microbiology, anatomy, English composition, calculus, and statistics.

Well I would look in Philosophy or Psychology... pretty interesting stuff.

I highly recommend reading Christopher West's Theology of the Body for beginners.  Rocked my world for sure and does an awesome job of answering your question.

I'm not sure on all the details, but I know that in order to enter the seminary, you must have a bachelor's degree and have taken a specific number of philosophy courses.  I would suggest talking with a priest and finding a seminary to find out more.

Alright... welcome tony_copeland to Theos Mart! Here, we have a large selection of religions for you to believe in. Personally, my favorite would have to be the Pagan Religion. Now, with this religious group, you have a lot of choices! You could be a Druid, a Shaman, a Voodoo practicioner, a Witch, a Priestess, a Priest, or any number of other things! You have the freedom to pick and choose your Gods and Goddesses at will, though, they might not always get along. Should you join this religion, there will be a need for intensive study, such as reading books and finding things out on your own. I suggest that you find a spirit guide, should you choose Paganism. A spirit guide -- whether it be a fae, an animal, a dragon, a unicorn, a demon, an angel, a God, a Goddess, Buddha, whatever -- will help you through life and help you make the right choices! But wait, there's more! If you choose Paganism, you get a one-way ticket AWAY from Hell because they don't believe in it! So, what will it be?

Before trying to learn ancient things,  you need a well rounded education in preparation.  You should focus on anthropology, sociology, and archeology as majors.  You may also want to study Hindi or other Indian dialects.  So I guess I am suggesting that you should go to college first, and perhaps go to India as an exchange student with a program if you can find one.  There are programs in many countries that allow you to study at one of their universities by living with a family and helping to take care of their children.... a nanny.\n\nSue

I believe your studies should be your own. The ability to access resources is a quality you need to build on your own. Also, one that you will treasure and find valuable.\nDo a little reading. I'll give you a direction in which you can start with. The rest is up to you. Type in a Yahoo search for, 'social culture clash.' Hopefully, the researcher in you will kick in and you'll produce a paper to end all papers. Good Luck!

Can you be specific in what you're asking? If not, just grab any of the thousands of textbooks out there and read.\n\nWe don't have enough space here to cover it all.

Try 'about.com'. They don't give out certificate's but they are a mine of information.\nI first heard of them from my Pyschology lecturer, and they were a good resource for studying that but once my homework was over I signed up for free e-mails courses in a variety of subjects.\nI chose 'aromatherapy' 'wiccan' 'buddhism' and 'English Literature' - but that's they kinda thing I'm into I am sure they would have something to suit your interests.\nAnd if you get bored of it you can always go back to the site and cancell the e-mails.\nGood Luck!
