Abstract:
Lambert Ehrlich is considered one of the greatest experts of comparative religious studies of his time, both locally and internationally. He was among the pioneers in organizing systematic religious studies at the university level in Slovenia. He lectured on the non-Christian religions at the Faculty of Theology in Ljubljana in the following study subjects: religious studies (apologetics), comparative religious studies, missiology. The content of his discussion of world religions changed according to the methodology and objectives of study subjects. He discussed religions with the aim of proving the superiority of Christianity in comparison with other religions, so he approached to the study of religions as an apologist. The article presents Ehrlich's discussion of world non–Christian religions based on his writings and textbooks, which he was using for his lectures in the mentioned study subjects.
