University of Notre Dame Press Contending Modernities Series

As a collaboration between the Contending Modernities initiative and the University of Notre Dame Press, the Contending Modernities series seeks through interdisciplinary publications to generate new knowledge and greater understanding of the ways in which religious and secular forces interact in the modern world. Books in this series may include, but are not limited to, monographs and edited collections that explore the ways in which Islam, Catholicism, and secularism engage and encounter each other today.
