Art, Religion, and Culture in the ’80s

Catholic scholar Paul Elie has written a penetrating, provocative, and insightful book. In The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s, Elie explores art, politics, and culture in the 1980s at the intersection with Christianity. His argument is that religion didn’t disappear in the Regan era—instead, people just became “crypto-religious.”
