Revolution: Religious Transformations and Philosophies of Change

We intend to have a conversation about revolution in all of its manifestations, past, present, and future. Possible inquiries might include: How does a particular religious idea change through history? In what ways do religious institutions understand historical change? How do theologians or philosophers understand the relationship between continuity and change? How do religions develop differently in different cultural settings? How has pluralism impacted religious claims to eternal truth? How have theories of religion changed over time? What “revolutions” in religious thought are currently underway? How do we understand the relationship between contemporary religious movements and their historical origins? How do philosophers help us understand the development of intellect, knowledge, reason, or truth individually and over time?
