ITI faculty member and alumna, Gudrun Kugler, together with her husband Martin, recently published the book, Exiting a Dead End Road. A GPS for Christians in Public Discourse. In describing the book, Gudrun writes:
“In the public debate today, Christians quickly encounter a ‘dead end road’: Of course, no one should be discriminated against – but is anti-discrimination legislation a good idea? Why do many call Christians intolerant, isn’t it the Christians’ positions which are not being tolerated? Exiting a Dead End Road. A GPS for Christians in Public Discourse discusses the main questions of public interest in a concise and accessible format. Distinguished experts offer their analysis and solutions to questions such as: “What’s Wrong With the West?” (Robert George, Bill Saunders), “Dealing with Political Correctness” (Marguerite Peeters), “Comprehending Freedom and Tolerance” (Rocco Buttiglione), and “Ways Out of the Ghetto” (Joseph Weiler), along with many other insightful essays.
