Problem: Two friends are having coffee. One is a theologian from a small midwestern town. The other is a scholar who teaches religion at the University of Chicago. A college student walking by their table hears part of a conversation and realizes the two friends are experts in religion. The student asks the two friends, "Which religion should I follow?" The theologian kindly recommends their church, while the scholar offers the student no definitive answer. Why? What is at stake, respectively, for the theologian and the scholar in the student's question?
