Polarisation and connection
The fourteenth edition of the Night of Theology will take place in the Pieterskerk in Utrecht. This year's theme is 'Polarisation and connection'.
The main speaker of this edition is Rik Peels, professor at the Faculty of Religion and Theology and the Faculty of Humanities at VU University Amsterdam. As a philosopher of religion, Rik Peels conducts research into radicalisation and argues for more input from philosophy and theology.
