The workshop aims to be a preparatory aid in facilitating the study of religions, given the increasing importance they have assumed in the contemporary world. The main aim is to enable students to read the religious phenomenon in its fundamental expressions and subsequently to undertake more complex specialist studies. It is intended to provide students with the keys to reading, hermeneutic, cultural and linguistic methods and instruments, which are useful for understanding the religious fact in its present-day manifestations, in its historical developments -since Antiquity- and in its spread throughout the world.
