- Title
- Towards Theological Engagement with Religious Fundamentalism
- Summary
- Resurgent religiosity has attracted widespread attention from social and political scientists, but not - in any significant way - from those engaged in Christian systematic theology. As a preparation for an in-depth study of fundamentalism's theological significance, this project will involve a scoping study of the field, culminating in an international consultation in Dublin to make available the initial results.

- Title
- Modernity and Modernism: Interpreting the Roots of Religious Crisis
- Summary
- In 1907, Pius X condemned 'modernism,' imposing theological 'integralism' and a restrictive discipline which remained in force until Vatican II (1962-65). After a century, the construction of modernism and anti-modernism merit evaluation. Modernism occurred within a modernity the value of which is debated. This project situates debates from the early twentieth century in the context of current theological contendings with modernity, thus contributing to debate within modernist studies, and to the theological reception of modernity's past.
