Skeptical of the modern political and intellectual division of labor between the religious and the secular, researchers at the Center for Religion and the Human deploy a range of both traditional and experimental formats to address the question of what it means to be human. Funding for the Center for Religion and the Human is provided by generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation and the College of Arts and Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington.
