Guests
Francis J. Beckwith
Francis J. Beckwith, professor of philosophy & church-state studies at Baylor University, discusses how we form complex beliefs and if the difference between the process of developing so-called religious beliefs and secular beliefs might be smaller than we think.
Beckwith is the author of Taking Rites Seriously: Law, Politics, and the Reasonableness of Faith (Cambridge University Press, 2015). The book won the American Academy of Religion’s 2016 Award for Excellence in the Study of Religion in the category of constructive-reflective studies.
