I am native of Bozeman, Montana and love the west. Dorothy and I were faculty deans of Lowell House for twenty-one years and we love this community! My scholarly research and teaching is on the religious traditions of India and the comparative study of religion.My books on India include “Banaras, City of Light,” “Darsan, Seeing the Divine Image in India,"“A New Religious America: How a ‘Christian Country’ Has Become the World’s Most Religiously Diverse Nation," and “India: A Sacred Geography.” I also have a theological memoir, “Encountering God: A Spiritual Journey from Bozeman to Banaras.” I run a large student think-tank and research project called the Pluralism Project that addresses the challenges of religious pluralism in multi-religious societies, especially the U.S. Check out the Project at http://www.pluralism.org.
