R
emember when the great and the good believed that religion could be excised from the public square?
Whether they admit it or not, the strong gods of family, nation, and religion are back. The open society of the postwar consensus has failed. Where does this leave us?
The strong gods are here to stay. Religion has announced its return to the public square. This is good, right?
These shifting winds present both a challenge and an opportunity. The task before religious believers like you and me is to ensure that religious truth is deployed in prudent ways toward proper ends.
Please join Dr. Mohler and R. R. Reno on November 10 as we chart a path forward for those on the religious right to accomplish precisely this.
Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr. is the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition to his presidential duties, he is Centennial Professor of Christian Theology and hosts two programs: “The Briefing,” a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview; and “Thinking in Public,” a series of conversations with the day’s leading thinkers.
