Well, we received our copy of Weigel's *The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics Without God* yesterday. It's a punchy, easy-to-read job, only 177 pages of text, of which we read 60 in less than an hour. It's meant for a popular audience and doesn't delve into heavy analysis, which is probably a good thing, but to be honest, we're a little disappointed so far.

When we came to the chapter entitled "Something New: The Drama of Atheistic Humanism," we thought, "All right! A little de Lubac. Now we're gonna rock!" We didn't. He recited 500 words about de Lubac and then spent about 2,000 words making a few points from de Lubac's excellent *The Drama of Atheistic Humanism*, points that don't do the book justice.

We realize, however, that our assessment of Weigel's treatment of *The Drama* may not be fair. Weigel is writing for a general audience, and Eric Scheske reveres de Lubac's study, having read it carefully after finding it at Notre Dame's undergraduate library and copying it on a Xerox. (Yes, we realize we probably violated copyright laws, but the book was out-of-print and we couldn't find it in used book shops. Ignatius Press, by the way, has printed a new edition of the book since.)

Anyway, we don't have time to cull passages from de Lubac's book right now, but look for a few this weekend. We may even toss them onto the "Our Favorite Quotes" page. We'll let you know either way.
