1. Bible (Christianity)
A Bíblia é dividida em duas partes: o Antigo Testamento, que inclui a criação do mundo, histórias de prophets e as leis mosaicas, e o Novo Testamento, que narra a vida de Jesus Cristo e seus ensinamentos.
It serves as the theological basis for Christians of all denominations, being used both in religious rituals and in everyday life for moral guidance.
2. Koran (Islam)
O Qur'an é considerado pelos muçulmanos como a revelação final de Deus, dada ao prophet Maomé por meio do anjo Gabriel.
It is organized into 114 suras (chapters) that cover all aspects of life, from faith and worship to moral and social legislation. For Muslims, it is a complete guide to life and the basis of sharia, or Islamic law.
3. Torah (Judaism)
A Torá compõe os cinco primeiros livros da Bíblia Hebraica e é o texto mais sagrado do Judaísmo. Esses livros incluem a história da criação, o Êxodo do Egito e a revelação da lei divina a Moisés no Monte Sinai.
The Torah is fundamental to Jewish practice, used both in study and in religious services, and it guides the laws and traditions of the Jewish faith.
4. Vedas (Hinduism)
Os Vedas são os textos mais antigos do hinduísmo e consistem em hinos, orações e rituais dedicados a várias divindades. Divididos em quatro coleções (Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, e Atharvaveda), eles fornecem uma visão abrangente da cosmologia e do pensamento filosófico hindu.
The Vedas are central to the understanding of dharma (cosmic law) and are revered in both study and ritual.
5. Tripitaka (Theravada Buddhism)
The Tripitaka, also known as the "Pali Canon," is the main scripture of Theravada Buddhism. It contains Buddha's teachings divided into three "baskets":
Vinaya (monastic rules), Sutta (Buddha's discourses) and Abhidhamma (Buddhist philosophy and psychology). This text guides Buddhist practitioners on the path to enlightenment and in the practice of meditation and ethics.
6. Guru Granth Sahib (Sikhism)
The Guru Granth Sahib is the sacred text of the Sikhs, containing hymns and spiritual writings of the Sikh Gurus and other saints.
Ele promove valores como igualdade, justiça e a devoção a Deus. Considerado o “Guru” vivo da religião, ele é central para todas as cerimônias e práticas religiosas sikh, sendo reverenciado em todos os templos sikh ao redor do mundo.
7. Avesta (Zoroastrianism)
The Avesta is the collection of sacred writings of Zoroastrianism, which includes hymns, prayers and scriptures revealed by Zarathustra. The texts focus on the battle between the forces of good, led by Ahura Mazda, and evil, represented by Angra Mainyu.
The Avesta guides Zoroastrian practice with a focus on purity, truth and the struggle for good in the world.
8. Kitáb-i-Aqdas (Bahá'í Faith)
The Kitáb-i-Aqdas is the central text of the Bahá'í Faith, written by Bahá'u'lláh. It contains laws, principles and guidelines on spiritual and social life, as well as promoting the unity of humanity and global justice.
For Bahá'ís, this book serves as a guide for moral behavior and for building a more just and harmonious society.
9. Agamas (Jainism)
The Agamas are the sacred texts of Jainism, based on the teachings of Mahavira, the last tirthankara. They cover ethical principles such as non-violence (ahimsa) and material detachment, as well as providing guidelines for religious practice.
These texts are essential to Jain spiritual life, guiding the way to liberation (moksha).
Jainism - an Indian religion closely related to Hinduism and Buddhism - is one of the oldest spiritual traditions in human history and has a significant number of followers, especially in the East. Even so, in Brazil, there are few books that explore this subject, making it difficult for those who want to get closer to this topic to know in depth how Jain spiritual life works. Against this backdrop, this book investigates the main historical and philosophical aspects of this spiritual practice, enabling you to understand the essences of the Jain world.
10. The Spirits' Book (Spiritism)
Written by Allan Kardec, "The Spirits' Book" is the cornerstone of Spiritism. It consists of a series of questions and answers that deal with the nature of spirits, reincarnation and the purpose of life.
The book offers a spiritual view of the universe and has been influential in spiritualist movements around the world, exploring themes such as communication with the spirit world.
These books provide theological, moral and spiritual foundations for millions of people around the world, and are studied and revered in various cultures.
