Dr. Jeremy Sabella studies religion and politics in the post-World War II era. His first book, An American Conscience, examines the life and legacy of twentieth-century ethicist, theologian, and social critic Reinhold Niebuhr. It serves as a companion to the award-winning PBS documentary by the same name, for which Sabella was the lead consultant. His recent work covers medical ethics, the religious fanaticism of sports betting, and what effective social criticism looks like. His forthcoming book, under contract with Oxford Univ. Press, is entitled, The Politics of Original Sin: Rethinking the World the Cold War Made. It explores how the dangerously simplistic moral binaries of the Cold War era persist in American public life and what it will take to move beyond them. He has taught religion, philosophy and ethics at Fairfield University, Kalamazoo College, Dartmouth College, and Ramapo College. He currently resides in Bergen County, New Jersey.
