Michael Novak

Michael Novak is a theologian, author, and former U.S. ambassador who holds the George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion, Philosophy, and Public Policy at the AEI. He is the 1994 recipient of the million-dollar Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion.

Have you wondered about the role of religion in the founding of the United States of America?  Are you informed about a proper interpretation of the separation between church and state?  Does the American political experiment require that religiously informed understandings of God and the good life for man be kept out of the public sphere?  Please join us for Mr. Novak's lecture.  Copies of his book On Two Wings: Humble Faith and Common Sense at the American Founding will be raffled off at the lecture.  The first one hundred attendees will receive copies of the Constitution.
