Description

In an international political scene characterized by realities such as the Eurozone crisis, divisive party politics, continued polarization of the American electorate along religious lines, and a wave of civil uprisings in the Arab world, this conference offers world-class speakers exploring fresh and meaningful ways of addressing the fractured nature of politics in our world. Mark Mayhew of the Regent College Marketplace Institute hosts and Iwan Russell-Jones serves as a respondent. Lectures Include: 

  • How Religion Went Bad: Christianity in an Age of Heresy - Ross Douthat
  • Faith and Politics: Who Will Put Humpty-Dumpty Together Again? - Hans Boersma
  • Bowls of Blood and Incense: The Politics of Martyrdom - Peter Leithart
  • Holy Ambivalence: Secular Liturgies, Divine Politics? - James K.A. Smith
