Prof. Dr Andreas Merkt was a guest on Prof. Dr Annette Edenhofer’s podcast “Die Edenhoferin”. In the episode “Religionen, wie sie helfen und wann sie schaden?” [“Religions: how do they help, and when do they cause harm?”], he discusses the new edition of his book *Die religiöse Verwandlung der Welt* (June 2026) – the emergence of a new type of religion in late antiquity, the view of religions as family history, and the question of how trust in the goodness of creation makes the transition from war to peace possible.
The episode is available on all major platforms.
