Conservatives on the Cutting Edge

In James K.A. Smith’s excellent book, Introducing Radical Orthodoxy: Mapping a Post-secular Theology , he explains recent developments in theology and philosophy among mostly post-liberal (some Catholic) theologians.

Weigel on the “Europe Problem”

George Weigel has a characteristically clear-headed and insightful analysis of the “Europe problem” in the February issue of First Things.
