Robert Wins Major Research Support Grant
A project proposed by Dr. Dana Robert to the Religion and Innovation in Human Affairs Program of the Historical Society, “The Birth of the World Church: Vision, Friendship, and Community,” has just been awarded funding. The two-year project will explore how the religious vision of Christianity as a worldwide community framed a process of mutual transformation among Christian leaders in the West and global South during the first half of the twentieth century and will result in a book. The John Templeton Foundation funded this program to explore how religion may or may not contribute to progress in human history.
