(Since I was thinking
about a Symposium)









Books complied from the events that take place at Brigham Young University's various symposiums have caught my attention over the years. I hesitate a little to focus the first part of this blog on a book but today I planned to post the books that I have read under the O and then I decided to go ahead and also list a number of books that I just have not had an author to put with it. I have it titled in my own master list of books read and re read these last few years as
"Books without Authors". A lot of books fall under this category and I just have not kept as good a track of those over the years. Books like "The Tao-Te Chan" has to do with early Chinese philosophy. I haven't finished that but if I had I am not sure who I would put down as an author. Scriptures lack authors or imply divine authorship. The Nirvana Sutra goes to Buddhism in China. A book I have valued is "Literature of Belief". It came out of the Brigham Young University Symposiums. It's stated goal in the introduction is:
*

"to learn more about the nature of religious experience by examining its

expressions in the sacred texts of a number of the world's religious traditions"

*
