Public Faith: how religion can contribute to the common good

Yale theologian Miroslav Volf on why pluralistic democracies should welcome voices of faith

Miroslav Volf from Yale Divinity School is a professor of theology and author of a number of books and articles. His latest work is A Public Faith: How Followers of Christ Should Serve the Common Good. In this interview he challenges the notion that faith should remain a private affair, and makes the case for the place of faith in public life, even in places where religious belief may seem to be on the decline.
