His research critically examines intersections of religion and politics, with emphases on Jewish political theology, secularism, and religious pluralism. Copulsky explores how religious traditions negotiate liberal democratic frameworks while maintaining theological integrity, particularly through historical analysis of Western thought and contemporary case studies in church/state relations.
Copulsky's scholarly output reveals consistent engagement with political theology across religious traditions, emphasizing adaptive frameworks for pluralistic societies. His publications demonstrate methodological diversity spanning historical analysis, normative theory, and applied ethics, with increasing focus on Jewish thought's contributions to political theology since 2013.
