In Founders of Faith: The Parallel Lives of God's Messengers, author Harold Rosen explores the lives of Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Zoroaster, Krishna, Buddha and Baha'u'llah and finds remarkable connections. According to Rosen, these patterns suggest our world's religions share universal teachings and have a common divine source. He explains how the founders of world religions functioned as teachers of humanity; how their stations differed from seers, visionaries and minor prophets; and how their teachings transformed civilization and humanity.
