We Always Come to Religion

Today’s “On the Square” offers a preview of the next issue, now in the mail to subscribers , from the editor’s “Public Square.” In The Signpost at the Crossroads , Joseph Bottum examines “the signpost at the intersection of religion and American public life.” I would tell you what that signpost is, but that would limit the effect of the article’s opening.

Now would be a good time to point out to those of you who read the website but not the magazine that the magazine is an excellent investment: weighty and substantive yet easily read, serious yet a pleasure to look at, featuring material that appears nowhere else in American publishing. It can appear in your mailbox ten times a year for much less than a family dinner at a chain restaurant. If you subscribe .
