Aquinas and Religious Pluralism: How to Engage Without Sacrificing the Truth | Prof. Thomas Hibbs

After a rapid increase in their ranks over the last decade, the “nones,” or those who claim no particular religious affiliation, now represent one-in-five US adults. What portrait does this leave us of the future of faith in this country? And how are communities of faith changing internally as they witness the same demographic and generational shifts as the population at large? Will church groups see the same hollowing out of the middle as the political and economic landscapes, with a trend toward both ends of the conservative vs. reform spectrum? Peter Beinart, Arsalan Iftikhar, Leon Wieseltier, Molly Worthen, Ray Suarez
