Isn’t Brooks supposed to be the resident conservative or something bizarre like that?
Like he told NPR “I don’t talk about my religious life in public in part because it’s so shifting and green and vulnerable. I don’t really talk about it because I don’t want to trample the fresh grass.” And in the introduction to his new book, he disclosed a personal reason for writing it: “I wrote it to save my soul.” I obviously have no idea where he is on the faith journey, or even if it is the same place as a year or two years ago. But I do enjoy his commentaries on the importance of humility and virtue and the extent they have been absorbed by the author himself is to me quite beside the point.
Yes, supposedly.
