Summary: | R. Scott Appleby as a scholar, teacher, institution-builder, and practitioner intervened in debates among scholars, politicians, policy makers, religious people, and all people of good will, grappling with the unexpectedly violent post-Cold War world. He offered what can be called a “postsecular” recognition not only of the global religious resurgence, but how taking seriously religion and religious traditions - piety, faith, theology, and hermeneutics - in debates over peace, violence, interreligious dialogue, reconciliation, and political engagement can provide clarity of understanding amidst the complexity of this new world, and also hope and a vision for the future. |
