Swift Hall and the Good Life | The University of Chicago Divinity School
Swift Hall and the Good Life | The University of Chicago Divinity School
Swift Hall has been at the forefront of the study of religious ethics since it began welcoming students for classes in 1926. Scholars as influential and innovative as Richard B. Miller, Jean Bethke Elshtain, James Gustafson, and William Schweiker have cultivated diverse conversations that enrich and make relevant scholarly engagement with religion and the good life. The ethicists of Swift Hall excelled because their work was shaped by the University of Chicago Divinity School community and its foundational role in the American study of religion.

“Our Better Angels”: Reflections on My Years in Swift Hall | The University of Chicago Divinity School
Reading the New York Times one evening in late September, I was pleased to see a conversation reported between Peter Wehner and Marilynne Robinson, the great novelist whose protagonist, John Ames of Gilead, has made an indelible impression on readers. As always, I was delighted to read Robinson’s reflections on religion, Calvin, and Karl Barth; predestination, aesthetics, and theology.
