''The Great Transformation: The Beginning of Our Religious Traditions'' (2006) is an overview of major religions from about 1600 to 200 B.C.; including [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Confucianism]], [[Daoism]], [[Greek]] rationalism and [[Judaism]]. The thrust of this book is that during the first millenium B.C., the major religions moved from a sole concern with ritual and sacrifice to a primary concern with personal ethics and morality. During this time, the leaders of these religions all developed doctrines of compassion and respect for others, which was quite a departure from the religious practices that preceded them.
