Episode Synopsis

After telling people that I study religion, I am often asked if I want to become a priest – but one needs to study theology to become a priest, not religious studies. So in this episode I try to clarify the difference between these to disciplines and give a short introduction to religious studies. To give you an impression of topics that can be discussed within the study of religion, I go through classes I attended during my studies.
