James V. Schall, S.J.
TAN Books, 236 pages
Father Schall, professor emeritus of Georgetown University and essayist par excellence, has assembled yet another fine collection in his latest book. Always thought-provoking and often wry, the eminent Jesuit thinker tackles topics from abortion, multiculturalism, and the nature of music to death, funerals, and the afterlife — and all manners of subjects in between. For example, his chapter entitled “The ‘Declaration’ of Voluntarism,” written as a set of guiding societal principles or manifesto, would make for effective satire if it were not so chillingly reflective of the present state of our culture. Father Schall’s works are always edifying and recommended reading.
