Transformative Ideas Addresses Islam and Modernity

Christianity and Islam, the world’s two largest religions, are both implicated in the origins and fate of modernity. What is the relationship between each religion and liberal modernity? What new light does this attention to these relationships shed on liberalism? What does the future hold for Christianity, Islam, and the liberal order given the expected decline of the religiously unaffiliated and increase in the percentage of religious believers as shares of the global population in the next 25 years? Duke sophomore and Transformative Ideas Co-President Jason Murray discusses these questions with Duke Professors Michael Gillespie (Political Science) and Mohsen Kadivar (Religious Studies).
