Biblical masterpieces
13 episodes, 1961, WUNC (Chapel Hill)
From WNET:
"From WUNC in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, comes a series of programs that explore the literature and history of the Bible. Intended for an adult audience, the programs examine both the well-known and the less familiar stories and personages of the Bible in the light of new work in archaeology, science and higher criticism. The orientation is non-sectarian and requires only some interest in the Judeo-Christian heritage of the Western world. On occasion, photographs, documents, and drawings are used to illustrate the lecture."
Religions of man
17 episodes, 1955, KETC (St. Louis)
From WNET:
"The first college accredited course given on TV in St. Louis, this series features Dr. Huston Smith, associate professor of philosophy at Washington University. A survey of the great living religions of the world and how they influenced human history, the course covers Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity (Protestant and Catholic) and Islam. Lectures trace the start of these religions, their founders and what each teaches as life’s meaning and the way to its fulfillment."
