The Luce Project of Religious Freedom is launching a discussion series on the Immanent Frame. The series, guest edited by Elizabeth Shakman Hurd and Winnifred Fallers Sullivan in conjunction with a joint research project asks the question -“what is religious freedom, and why are we talking about it now?”

Scholars contributing to the series consider the multiple histories and genealogies of religious freedom—and the multiple contexts in which those histories and genealogies are salient today. The responses start with Elizabeth Shakman Hurd’s contribution Believing in religious freedom and has continued with contributions from Saba Mahmood, Winnifred Fallers Sullivan, Peter Danchin, and Samuel Moyn.
