    Loyola University Chicago School of Law and the Family Action Network are pleased to Eboo Patel, Ph.D., founder and president of Interfaith Youth Core, a Chicagobased nonprofit organization that promotes interfaith leadership on college campuses, who is called *one of America's deepest thinkers on religion and the human condition* by U.S. News & World Report, provides answers to this timely and consequential question.

    In Dr. Patel's inspiring and thought-provoking new book, Out of Many Faiths, he draws on his personal experience as a Muslim in America to examine broader questions about the importance of religious diversity in the cultural, political, and economic life of the nation. He explores how religious language has given the United States some of its most enduring symbols and inspired many of its most vital civic institutions and demonstrates how the genius of the American experiment lies in its empowerment of people of all creeds, ethnicities, and convictions.

    Dr. Patel earned his Bachelor's in sociology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and his Ph.D. in sociology as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University. He is the author of Interfaith Leadership: A Primer; Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice, and the Promise of America; and Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation. He was a member of President Obama's inaugural Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships.

    Books will be available for purchase and signing.
