• The Trials of Desire and the Possibility of Faith
  Yale University, 22-24 March 2012
  Cosponsored by the Martin Marty Center at the University of Chicago Divinity School
  This gathering will reflect upon contemporary belief and practice in light of a suggestion that emerges from the expansive oeuvre of Denys Turner: that the possibility of faith begins as a question of desire. Contributions will include perspectives from philosophy, theology, and the history of thought, but the focus will remain upon constructive treatment of the mutual implication of desire, faith, and the darkness of God.
