What is the Alternative to Religious Violence? A Christian Response
It seems like every day we read about religiously motivated violence either in America or somewhere in the world. Is this the new normal, or is there an alternative? What is the Christian response? We will explore the sources of religious violence and offer a Christian perspective.
Dr. Doug Kindschi is the founding director of the Kaufman Interfaith Institute. He is also a Professor of Mathematics and Philosophy at Grand Valley State University, and was previously Dean of Sciences at GVSU for 28 years. With a unique path of starting in science and ending up in religion, Dr. Kindschi is particularly interested in the relationship between the two fields.
