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.
