A Journalist Reports on Faith
Checking Availibility...Description
In columns and reporting for the Winnipeg Free Press over two decades, journalist John Longhurst has covered faith from a multitude of perspectives. This collection of his most stimulating reflections on faith is also a series of reports on culture, politics, technology, and just about anything else that intersects with religion. Longhurst is perennially curious about religious faith in its various expressions. Whether writing about Holocaust survivors, residential schools, religious relics, interreligious misunderstandings, assisted dying, or how women religious leaders are treated, John Longhurst has something thought-provoking to say about the way faith touches all aspects of our lives.
About this Author
Reviews
"It's never dull when John Longhurst is on the religion beat. For decades the Winnipeg Free Press columnist on faith, an increasing rarity in journalism today, has colourfully written about hundreds of hot-button, and even fun, religious issues. His experience shows in his deft touch, colourful style and, dare I suggest, wisdom. You never know what John will be onto next, whether it's religion and baseball, Nazis, robots, the moon, swearing, suicide, residential schools, taxes, or Walt Disney. Since John is devoted to making religion engaging to people who think, he has a knack for posing pointed questions and often ends up suggesting integrity-filled answers." (Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun)
"Newspapers are under enormous pressure and religion-based journalism even more so. Whether one agrees with John Longhurst or not, his presence in media is to be welcomed, as is this book. Let us hope it finds a large and eager readership. It certainly deserves to do so." (Michael Coren)
