Baylor profs to study nature, value of faith

Philosophy scholars at Baylor University have received a $1.5 million grant to investigate religious beliefs in order to “shed new light on faith,” according to a news release about the three-year study.

The gift from the Templeton Religion Trust will finance “The Nature and Value of Faith” project, which will investigate the variety of ways faith manifests itself in the lives of successful people — in and out of specifically religious contexts.
