On September 7, 2023 Notre Dame Law School’s Religious Liberty Initiative hosted a book talk with Thomas Berg, author of Religious Liberty in a Polarized Age and the James L. Oberstar Professor of Law and Public Policy at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. The event included a discussion between Berg and Notre Dame Law School professors Stephanie Barclay, Rick Garnett, and Sherif Girgis.
In Religious Liberty in a Polarized Age, Berg shows us how reaffirming religious freedom cultivates the good of individuals and society. After explaining the features of polarization and the societal benefits of diverse religious practices, Berg offers practical counsel on balancing religious freedom against other essential values.
