Alan Hurst is a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Yale Center for Faith & Culture. His research focuses primarily on religion's place in the public sphere, which he has studied as an undergraduate at Brigham Young University, as a research assistant at the International Center for Law and Religion Studies, and as a student at Yale Law School, where his required academic writing investigated such questions as law's effect on public ideas of morality and on the personal dimension of economic relationships, specifically those between landlords and tenants. His publications include an essay on the Mormon understanding of the relationship between reason and revelation and an article comparing a popular Mormon theodicy with that of Process theologian David Griffin, coauthored with BYU Philosophy professor David Paulsen.
