Religion in the public square isn’t just for scholars. It’s a pressing question for all of us. Challenging, timely, and thought-provoking, this book asks what role religion should play in our fast-changing world. It shows that easing identity tensions goes beyond tolerance, calling for fresh thinking and a renewed theology of interreligious dialogue. This is essential reading for anyone curious about how faith, culture, and society intersect today.
