The exploration of the interface between theology and society plays a critical part in fostering an understanding of the moral, spiritual, and intellectual dimensions of modern pluralistic societies. Interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and other disciplines helps to situate contemporary challenges within a wider horizon, by bringing the intellectual resources of the Christian tradition to bear on contemporary challenges. Research in this cluster addresses a wide range of social and cultural themes, and deploys methodologies from several disciplines, including history, literature, ethics, and economics.
