An interactive session allowing you get a taste of what it will be like studying Theology, Religion and Ethics at Winchester. In this session we will look at different ways of thinking about religion, contrasting for instance the perspectives of ‘insiders’ to a tradition, with those of ‘outsiders’ – either of a different faith, or of avowed secularists.

We will examine some of the challenges we confront when trying to get to grips with different religions, as we direct our gaze from different vantage points. The session will include an overview of the programme, and give you a chance to ask any questions about it.
