Jebus: Looking for my Scooper; +218|6162|Belgium

Hello guys, for my oral 'Religion' exam, I have to present one of the six major religons (Judaism, Christiany, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism and Hindiusm.) At my exam I will get assigned of those six religions and I will then have to talk for 5 consistent minutes about each and every one.

Now, we've seen quite a bit this year in class, but the course is such a mess and hardly useable, so I've come here for help.

Are there any sites or perhaps even texts that can help me to present each of those religions in a very concise way? Wikipedia doesn't seem the way to go as they dig into too many details imo.

Thanks in advance.

You could still use wiki, just make a rough draft of the stuff you want to use. I always find, that writing something down makes it easier for me to remember later. Study the wiki links, find the pertinent information, and draft your own essay. Five minutes is not that long.

I've already got it down for Judaism, but I have no idea where to start with Christianity.
It's pretty hard to talk about the Bible, Jesus, the apostles, the evangelists and the 'norm'..

Yeah, I get to roll a dice The number the dice lands on represents a religion which I then have to present.

He has to present one of them in a longer speach (usually 15 minutes) and then 5 minutes on each of the others ... I think ...

Wait behind the line ..............................................................

So you only have to do 1 speach. But you don't know what religion it is on. So you have to be prepared to do all?

Sorry if I didn't explain myself well

Yeah, I have to prepare all of them, then I get assigned a random one out of those 6 to do. I get 5 minutes to talk about it and then 5 more where I have more of a dialogue with the teacher on my thoughts etc.

5 minutes is easy. Google books should have full copies of all those religions text as well as detailed books about them.

Sounds like a nonsense course to me. Honestly, prepare six presentations when you only have to give one? Waste of effort.

I know right.. Shit course as well. Strangely enough, Christianity for me is the hardest to explain..

Sorry for using the word 'oral' btw. I don't know how I should be translating it, 'speaking exam'?

Oral exam is correct. It's the internet.

So you just have to talk about whatever you want about whatever religion you are tasked with? Or you have to give the basic summary of these religions or you have to give the history of them or what?

Pretty much, yeah. I get 5 (actually 6, but w/e). To show the teacher I know what each religion is about. I pretty much have Judaism, Christianity and Islam figured out, I guess the other three should be doable with wiki?
