Religions & Public Life launches

The Kenan Institute for Ethics announces the formation of a new initiative examining aspects of religion in public life. Spearheaded by Kenan Senior Fellow and Professor of Religion Ebrahim Moosa and Kenan Senior Fellow and Associate Professor of Theological Ethics at Duke Divinity School Luke Bretherton, the research focus of the Religions & Public Life will be the intersection of religious authority and law in the global public sphere. How can a truly civic space like that imagined by Jürgen Habermas come to be given the rich religious legal traditions that have always shaped the public sphere?
