This is a bit outside my wheelhouse, but I did want to note that next month Notre Dame Press will release an English translation of French scholar Pierre Manent’s recent book, Challenging Modern Atheism and Indifference: Pascal’s Defense of the Christian Proposition. Many observers have noted an uptick in Christianity in France (and the US), especially among young men.

Princeton’s Robert George is one of the world’s leading scholars of natural law. This is not a subject that keeps one out of controversy nowadays, but George has a unique ability to engage the public debate thoughtfully from a conservative perspective while retaining the respect of interlocutors on the other side. This summer, Encounter Books will release a new collection of essays from him on current issues, Seeking Truth and Speaking Truth: Law and Morality in Our Cultural Moment.

A great benefit of my sabbatical several years ago at Princeton’s James Madison Program was having an office next door to Professor John Wilsey. I always enjoyed and learned a great deal from our hallway conversations. Now lots of other people can benefit, too, since John, a church historian at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, is out with a new book, Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer (Eerdmans). Looks very interesting.

I’ve enjoyed Zondervan’s “Critical Points” series, which publishes brief and accessible introductions to contested questions in Christian thought. Here is a new volume in the series, Natural Law: Five Views, edited by Ryan Anderson and Andrew Walker. The book brings together scholars of natural law from the Protestant and Catholic traditions, which seem to be working in parallel.

I’m late getting to this, but I did want to note Ashley Rogers Berner’s most recent book on educational pluralism, Educational Pluralism and Democracy: How to Handle Indoctrination, Promote Exposure, and Rebuild America’s Schools (Harvard). Ashley, a professor of education at Johns Hopkins, is a longtime friend of the Mattone Center who participated in our Tradition Project several years ago.
