Richard John Neuhaus was a prominent Christian cleric (first as a Lutheran pastor and later as a Roman Catholic priest) and writer. Born in Canada, Neuhaus moved to the United States where he became a naturalized United States citizen. He was the founder and editor of the monthly journal First Things and the author of several books, including The Naked Public Square: Religion and Democracy in America (1984), The Catholic Moment: The Paradox of the Church in the Postmodern World (1987), and Catholic Matters: Confusion, Controversy, and the Splendor of Truth (2006). He was a staunch defender of the Roman Catholic Church's teachings on abortion and other life issues and an unofficial advisor of President George W. Bush on bioethical issues.

I read this for the Berger bits, which are interesting mostly because there his 'humanistic' conservatism is laid bare. Neuhaus' section, titled, ' The Thorough Revolutionary', is interesting mainly because he turned out to be an arch-conservative in later years (as I understand). Perhaps Berger's arguments worked.
