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.
