In season three of Sacred & Profane, we’ll be looking at how religion shapes the world around us. We’ll head to the forests of Bhutan, we’ll compare competing understandings of the Declaration of Independence, and we’ll ask what can the scholarship of the past tell us about our own time.

Sacred & Profane is a podcast about religion in everyday places, co-hosted by Martien Halvorson-Taylor and Kurtis Schaeffer, professors of religious studies at the University of Virginia.
