Ellen Ott Marshall, Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Conflict Transformation, Candler School of Theology

Dr. Marshall will engage the issue of the place of faith in politics. She argues that the American public square has become a deeply divided place, largely because both the religious right and the secular left have couched their ideas in terms of unbending moral principles, absolutizing ethical positions that underlie political commitments. Marshall suggests that Christian ethics teaches that while God's truth is indeed absolute, our grasp of it never is. Recognizing this, Marshall offers key ways that Christians can more faithfully engage in the political sphere.
