I am currently involved in a research project that will explore the intersection of faith and politics (and related issues) that has become so prominent in contemporary American politics, and which has echoes in other parts of the world. I will keep a record of the ongoing research on my blog as I go along.
This list of online resources will be updated as I go along. I won’t offer commentary on any of the resources on this post, though I might comment on some of them in subsequent posts. This post is simply meant as a place to compile resources I come across, and it will be updated regularly.
