BI Newsletter - January 26 - Navigating Religious Pluralism with "Radical Honesty"

Reading Religion Salon book list

The January 2026 edition of the Boniuk Institute newsletter emphasizes "radical honesty" in navigating religious pluralism and conflict. Highlighting new research, the institute reports rising discrimination against Jewish and Muslim Americans post-October 7 and explores a complex data trend: while religious organizations often support immigrants, individual practitioners frequently express economic skepticism. The Institute also announces the public expansion of the Reading Religion Salon, featuring a curated book list on global religious issues. Key upcoming initiatives include research-driven gatherings on clergy wellbeing and the Senior Scholar Award ceremony honoring John Inazu.
