As the nation and the world prepare to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Professor Christopher Vecsey has just published a book on how The New York Times covers religion in the wake of the catastrophe.
In a Colgate Scene feature story titled after his book, “Following 9/11,” Vecsey, a religion professor, reflects on how reading the newspaper can help us understand many dimensions of religion in these times.
