Finding 'happiness' in a Romanian gulag
Translated by Gabriela Ailenei Nicolae Steinhardt was a 20th-century writer and Orthodox hermit. He was arrested by the Communist Party of Romania in 1959 when he refused to testify against a colleague who was accused of being an enemy of the people. Steinhardt himself was accused of conspiracy against social order and was sentenced to hard labor. He spent 13 years in a gulag-like prison. There he met a Bessarabian hermit and was baptized Orthodox Christian. After his imprisonment,...
Editor's Note: Summer 2017
As summer in Michigan begins to wind down, Religion & Liberty Summer 2017 takes a look at several important issues. We explore religious liberty in Eastern Europe, “pink” issues, Martin Luther, cooking and recidivism, the “Jon Stewart of Egypt” and more. For the cover feature, I decided to revisit a subject we previously covered. We tracked down several graduates of Edwins Leadership and Restaurant Institute (which was profiled in the Fall 2015 issue of R&L) and talked to them...
Out of the frying pan into the fire
Once men and women leave prison, they have few options and little hope. Edwins is working to change that. After someone has paid the price for their crime pleted a prison sentence, the difficulties of their life certainly don’t end there. In her research for When Prisoners Come Home: Parole and Prisoner Reentry, Joan Petersilia found that nearly 75 percent of men and women remained jobless up to a year after release from prison. Department of Justice research found...

Justice, applied equally
Oftentimes during prayer I reflect on my good fortune. I grew up in a loving Italian-American family during an amazing era of progress both economically and technologically. My Italian roots were planted so strong. However, as they say, the Lord works in mysterious ways. Instead of leading a life in quiet near-obscurity, I pursued the public life of a free-market proponent. This entailed employing the Word and other theological and divinely inspired tools to support the small-“w” words of...
Reagan remembered
Bulgaria unveils a statue to Ronald Reagan in the battleground for religious liberty. Ronald Reagan remains the most influential U.S. president of the latter half of the 20th century. He is remembered as an optimistic advocate of free minds, free markets, free elections and the free exercise of religion. But gratitude, a universal human emotion, is not limited to the United States. Instead, it extends across the transatlantic sphere to the former Soviet bloc. On May 10, in Sofia,...
Medium and message in Luther’s reformation
Review of Brand Luther: 1517, Printing, and the Making of the Reformation (Penguin Press 2015).
