Virtual book launch: “Cities of Gods”

As a personal synthesis of his research within the ‘Religion and Urbanity’ research group, the book by religious studies scholar Jörg Rüpke, *Cities of Gods: A Global History of Religion and the City from the Ancient World to the Modern*, was published by Princeton University Press in early October. 

Clifford Ando, University of Chicago; Claudia Moser, University of California, Santa Barbara; and Greg Wolf, Director of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, will pose critical questions regarding the book. Participants will then have the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.

Jörg Rüpke is Deputy Director of the Max-Weber-Kolleg and Co-Spokesperson for the Centre’s research group.
