The Witherspoon Institute
Program in Religion and Civil Society
Byron Johnson, Director
The Program in Religion and Civil Society seeks to examine the ability of faith-based organizations to address social problems and the bearing of religious beliefs, practices, and commitments on the flourishing of individuals and social institutions.

Recently the Program has launched a research project on Islam and Civil Society under the direction of Dr. Jennifer Bryson, as well as a collaborative project with the Institute for Theological Inquiry (ITI) under the codirection of Rabbi Eugene Korn and Dr. Robert Jenson.
