Making Men Moral: Conference on Morality and Public Life

Union University is offering a very interesting conference on morality and public life. The conference title, Making Men Moral: The Public Square and the Role of Moral Judgment, appears to be taken from the highly regarded book Making Men Moral: Civil Liberties and Public Morality by Professor Robert P. George, member of the President’s Council on Bioethics and former presidential appointee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights, who is also one of the speakers at the conference.
The full speaker list includes Robert P. George (Princeton University), Jean Bethke Elshtain (University of Chicago), Richard John Neuhaus (Editor-in-Chief, First Things), Russell D. Moore (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary), Harry L. Poe (Union University), Gregory A. Thornbury (Union University), David Novak (University of Toronto), James Stoner (Louisiana State University), Christopher Tollefsen (University of South Carolina), Paul Kerry (Brigham Young University).
The Conference runs from February 25-27, 2009 and the cost is $75.
