The Best of "The Public Square", Book Three

Since its inception in 1990, the journal First Things has concluded each issue with Richard John Neuhaus column The Public Square, which has attracted the attention of Americas most influential journalists, opinion makers, and intellectuals. All who read that column appreciate its serious discussions of religious and social topics, its lively prose, and its occasional dash of wicked humor. This volume presents a sampling of the best of The Public Square. Culled from columns written between 2002 and 2005, these insightful pieces range from reflections on theology, philosophy, and politics to education, bioethics, vegetarianism, and architecture. Neuhaus authorial flair and keen intellect are on full display in these pages.
