Anyone ever read anything by this guy or know anything about him? I love economics, and stumbled across this guy at marginal revolution, but I am also a huge fan of a good apologist.

Here is his piece in NYT, which is an apology of belief over agnosticism which I thought was really great, and pretty close to my worldview (with the exception of his enthusiasm for the Roman Catholic church. I love Catholics, and understand why many choose Catholicism, or, on F15 especially, Orthodoxy).

Anyone read anything by him? He seems to have a lot of good stuff out there, with a new interesting book coming this spring.

He's Catholic. I would characterize him as moderate. Very intelligent. I enjoy reading his columns, I read one of his books, "Bad Religion," several years ago and liked it.

This is a dated but relevant short review of Bad Religion
