| RICHARD JOHN NEUHAUS GOES TO BE WITH CHRIST |
written by Robert Osburn, Ph.D. on January 8th, 2009
In just the past few minutes, we have learned that Richard John Neuhaus, who delivered the Institute’s Holmer Memorial Lecture in 2005, left this life and entered the presence of Jesus Christ, whom he deeply and dearly loved. His death occurred around 10 am Eastern time today. He was the Editor and founder of the most important and significant American journal on religion and public life: First Things, copies of which can be found in the Institute’s library. News about his death can be found at http://www.firstthings.com/onthesquare/ The Institute's two MP3 files of his 2005 lecture can be downloaded by going to http://www.maclaurin.org/mp3 and searching for “Neuhaus.”
