Please join us for a book discussion and reception with First Things editor R. R. Reno and Sam Tanenhaus. They will be discussing R. R. Reno's latest book, Return of the Strong Gods: Nationalism, Populism, and the Future of the West.

In Return of the Strong Gods, R. R. Reno argues that we are witnessing the return of the “strong gods”—the powerful loyalties that bind men to their homeland and to one another.  
 

R. R. Reno is the editor of First Things magazine. He was formerly a professor of theology and ethics at Creighton University. He is the author of several books, including Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society, Fighting the Noonday Devil, and a theological commentary on the Book of Genesis in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible series. His work ranges widely in systematic and moral theology, as well as in controverted questions of biblical interpretation.
