Chasing the Devil at Foggy Bottom

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Shaun Casey has done the impossible: he brought a critical new element into our government bureaucracy, demonstrated its success, won at least some grudging acceptance, garnered appreciation from some would-be critics, and lived to write about it with panache.”

Liberating the Holy Name

Theology

“Dan Spiro ventures where too few ever do for an honest search in an area that most consider . . . untouchable. This gutsy book seeks to broaden our understanding of God, to go beyond the usual vague, incoherent, and off-putting theological observations, and to really wrestle with what it is we each think. In the process, the book honors God, honors us, and honors the others with whom we each interact in the world, no matter what their faith or lack of it. I rejoice, personally, in Spiro's notion of our role in being God's emissaries, reminding us that our actions make a difference and help to make real an ultimate force in the world.”
