THE WISDOM PROJECT
Since 2002, The Wisdom Project has focused on developing wisdom-based intercultural relations between Christians and Muslims and international relations between the United States and Muslim Middle East states. These two areas (intercultural and international) hugely influence each other, either to pull us together for common good or to pit us against one another in damaged and broken relations, if not in violence, war, or rumors of war. Most people don’t want this, but they don’t know how to change it. The Wisdom Project is a multi-aspected initiative (research, articles, teaching, special papers, roundtables, consulting, and books) working to change it.Read more
WRITINGS
You will find my articles, editorials, essays, reviews, and interviews in this section of the site. Many were commissioned, some appeared in_Openings_ , and
others are exclusive to this site. The subject matter is separated in the drop-down lists broadly by content. But because so much of what I do forges links and connections between topics, many of these pieces touch on more than one broad area. You will also find writings relatedto my current work
on wisdom-based
intercultural and international relations. Explore at your leisure.Read more
