We explore critical questions in philosophy, religion, and theology, including early Christian constructions of knowledge and identity, and normative implications of moral disagreement, an urgent concern for societies with clashing moral principles. Interdisciplinary research collaborations also advance knowledge of the causes of public alienation from conventional political agendas, parties, and policies.
