Abstract: This essay assesses Daniel Philpott's wide-ranging contributions to religion and International Relations. Philpott has done much to uproot entrenched biases that neglect productive interconnections between religion and international political order. Here, I use Philpott's influence on my research to emphasize the constructivist, historical, and institutionalist dimensions of his scholarship. I structure my comments around themes of methodology and theoretical range, disciplinary critique and advancement, and programmatic development in international peace. Philpott's scholarship highlights how many religious actors are active in security, aid, and development. We still need to better engage these actors in combating global disorder, inequality, and injustice.
