Theological Genealogies of Modernity

An International virtual conference on the stories of how we came to inhabit the modern world. Genealogies of modernity are broad narrative accounts of the rise and nature of our present cultural condition. Theology nearly always features, in some way or another, in narratives about the formation of modernity, even if its role is just being a discourse and set of practices that was gradually marginalized by the onset of a more secular age. In July of 2021, this conference gathered together an international team of scholars to explore genealogies of modernity sympathetically and to evaluate them critically.
