Cone Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School, where he taught for 35 years and where the Martin Marty Center has since been founded to promote “public religion” endeavors.

He is also the editor of the fortnightly Context, since 1969, and authors the Marty Center’s weekly e-mail column, Sightings.
