Alexander The Great
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org, please feel free to visit the school website)
Alexander The Great carried a copy of Homer’s “Iliad” until
his death in 323 B.C. Alexander Mesopotamia
together for the first time under a single power. He had a direct effect on the
evolution of monotheism, and his conquests were the turning point in the
history of religions. The interchange of ideas between East and West threw the
different religions of the world into a melting pot. Man now wants to impress
his own ideas of the Divine upon others. From the scientific point of view,
there is none among the forerunners of Christianity who did more to prepare and
make ready its way than Alexander The Great. He was essential to the progress
of communication between cultures.
