Pete and Brian talk on how we understand religion. In this podcast you will hear some definitions of religion and some ways to analyze them. At the center is the framework presented by Stephen Prothero in God Is Not One. At its core, we start to understand religions by finding out what they see is the fundamental problem with the world and how their religion proposes to solve this problem. From there we must seek to understand the techniques and ways to get to the solution.

As we start a dialogue about other religions this podcast may help you in your effort to understand religions very different from your own.
