What connects a bustling square in Bogotá, a revolution in Central Asia, and an ancient showdown between gods in Israel? In my latest essay, I explore the intricate relationship between history, political thought, and spirituality, demonstrating how these diverse narratives converge to offer profound lessons on the necessity of plurality and diversity in state institutions and discourse.
