Diana Eck, professor of comparative religion at Harvard University, is the foremost expert on the growth of religious pluralism in the US. She is the director of The Pluralism Project, a foundation dedicated to the study of this new religious diversity and its role in contemporary America.

The United States is now the most religiously diverse nation in the world. Changes in immigration law since 1965 have ensured that alongside churches and synagogues, Buddhist temples, Muslim mosques, and Sikh gurdwaras now cater to the spiritual needs of American citizens.

Eck is also the author of the highly acclaimed book, A New Religious America. Drawing on her experiences travelling the country, Eck has pieced together the most thorough guidebook of American religiosity. Culling stories from Muslims in Indiana and Buddhists in New Jersey, Eck conducted her research “hands-on” and emerged with a compelling look at our true diversity.
