Welcome to This Common Life!
Reader, I am so glad you’ve come across this newsletter and growing community.
Over the past several years, I have become increasingly interested in questions around faith formation, neighbor love, and the common good.
What has come of these questions is this project: “This Common Life.” TCL is a multifaceted project that seeks to explore these concepts and how they relate to our shared life together in a society marked by our differences. This newsletter is one piece of the puzzle.
Subscribers can expect to find a weekly newsletter in their inbox on Tuesday morning. These newsletters include original short essays, interviews with leading voices in the church, academy, and society today, and more, and monthly podcast episodes.
As this platform grows, paid subscribers will begin to receive exclusive essays and reflections around disability, Asian America, Christian theology, interfaith dialogue, activism and empathy, and, of course, this common life we share.
Who am I?
My name is Amar and I am an Indian American author and public theologian.
My writing, research, and scholarship seek to equip the Christian church to engage faithfully, critically, and consistently in the complex issues of our religious and social life today through beautiful and compelling theology that emphasizes the nuanced lived reality of Christians and is modeled after the concrete person of Jesus Christ.
My first book, tentatively titled This Common Life: Seeking the Common Good Through Love of Neighbor is under contract with Eerdmans Publishing Company.

What is SFRS?
In 2022, I launched Scholarship for Religion and Society (SFRS), an innovative research and consulting firm working at the intersection of faith and public life. SFRS equips leaders and organizations to engage complex and nuanced issues of religious and social life today through beautiful and compelling theology that emphasizes the nuanced lived reality of Christians and is modeled after the concrete person of Jesus Christ. This Common Life is one way we do this work.
