Last week, we posted an interview with First Things editor Joseph Bottum on his article “The Death of Protestant America: A Political Theory of the Protestant Mainline.” Since that was such a hit, we’ve decided to add more interviews for your listening pleasure.
R. R. Reno, features editor at First Things and professor of theological ethics at Creighton University, has interviewed another author whose work is featured in the August/September 2008 issue . This time, we hear from Robert S. Miola about his review of Joseph Pearce’s The Quest for Shakespeare: The Bard of Avon and the Church of Rome .
The entire interview can be heard below, or you can go directly to its Google Video page for more options on downloading it. Enjoy!
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
