Book Talk! Learning to Disagree, with Professor John Inazu
In an era marked by divisiveness and discord, Professor John Inazu (Washington University in St. Louis School of Law) invites readers to rethink how and when they disagree with family, friends, co-workers, and anyone else on their newsfeed. It is possible to hold deep convictions about your own beliefs and have difficult, respectful, and engaging conversations with those who think differently.
Professor Inazu is joined by guest panelists with diverse religious beliefs to discuss his new book and offer reflections.
John Inazu is the Sally D. Danforth Distinguished Professor of Law and Religion at Washington University in St. Louis. His next book, Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect, will be published by Zondervan in Spring 2024.
