HISTORY SHORTS OCTOBER SPOTLIGHT
LIMITED SERIES: Series 4 - Religions
LIMITED SERIES: Series 4 - Religions
The October Limited Series will highlight the three great monotheistic religions in world history - with a bonus one, if we count Hinduism as one of many gods being different manifestations of the supreme deity, Brahman. The stories will only deal with accepted historiography on the subjects and will not be spiritual in nature - but more of a refresher on some basic Religion course you might have taken or missed in college. Check your favorite podcast app for new episodes every Saturday in September to find out!
