Summary: Strong Medicine
Comment: I do not agree with everything that Neuhaus says, but when you read what he writes you will see his perspective laid out clearly and can make up your own mind.

Rating: 1
Summary: Buyer Beware
Comment: Neuhaus is the ideological equivalent of a Pat Buckhanan, or a Jesse Helms.
It's unfortunate that such personages attain perpetually sponsored platforms to make comfortable careers perched on soapboxes pontificating arrogant, narrow, bigoted, disrespectful, negative commentary on those they choose to target--and are afforded with consistent respect and never personally challenged all the while.

Buyer beware: Neuhaus is not a benevolent, spiritual personage. He is calculated social mover aligned with various neo-conservative organizations. He leads a think tank which which serves as a ruthless pro-Vatican (and anti-anyone-else-who-should-happen-to-cross-my-path) propaganda machine. He routinely publishes rabidly hompohobic articles, and demonstrates little respect or toleration for religious or human diversity.

This isn't the work of a wise, gratious spiritual person, or a great intellectual: It's neo-conservative agenda pushing. Just be aware of this before buying...

Summary: Deeply Perceptive
Comment: No one writes like Neuhaus on current issues of religion and politics. A former Lutheran minister and now a Catholic priest, he has been on both sides of the Protestant/Catholic divide. This gives him a unique perspective on issues of common concern to all, and has placed him in the forefront of ecumenical efforts. I highly recomend this book as an investigation of how religion has been marginalized by the modern misinterpretation of the First Amendment's "no establishment" clause, thus leaving our Public Square bereft of foundational values
