600 to 501 B.C.

Module by: Jack E. Maxfield. E-mail the author

600 TO 501 B.C.

In or close to this 6th century B.C. a number of religious geniuses appeared in the ancient world. Karl Jaspers has called this an "axial age"1. It was the period of Confucius and perhaps Lao-tz in China, of Gautama, the Buddha in India, of Zoraster in Iran, Pythagoras in Greece and of the greatest of the Hebrew prophets, Deutero-lsaiah (Isaiah 40 to 59). There was a movement towards a belief in a single spiritual reality, and the Greeks were searching for a single principle to explain the material world. One result of this was the development of monotheism.

Forward to 500 to 401 B.C.
