Christopher Hitchens has a new book - God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. Jack Miles is distinguished professor of English and religious studies at UC Irvine and the general editor of the forthcoming “The Norton Anthology of World Religions.” In the Sunday, April 29 Los Angeles Times Book Review, he didn’t much like the Hitchens book. That’s okay - the Times here just cut its Sunday book review by two-thirds and may dump it altogether. They’re also about to dump seventy more newsroom people - a lot of award-winning journalists will be looking for work. The newspaper will soon be not much more than a gossip rag with display ads - the widely respected editors left months ago. The shareholders expect profit, and if people want news and book reviews, they can look elsewhere.
In any event, the commentary on that book is not here. It seemed best to put in it a photo essay (really). Some things need visuals. See Finding Religion at the sister site, Just Above Sunset Photography.
