Over the long weekend, I read a very interesting book called Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics after the Religious Right. It is by long time author, Washington Post columnist and Georgetown University professor E. J. Dionne, Jr.
The book delves into the intermingling of religion and politics; explores what the left and right have done to usurp religion for their own political devices; and how we as a people are in constant search for the “higher calling.”
This is an important book to read during this political season. I recommend it highly.
Just curious Ted, you seem to read many books and do so quickly (a whole book in a weekend?)- how do you manage this with what I’m sure is a busy schedule?
This book is not yet available … Ted, you must have gotten the would be first read so they can quote you in the inside sleeves of the covers!
What else are you previewing?
