Pontification

This week on CW, with Pope Benedict XVI visiting the UK, Dolan Cummings considers the politics of secularism in a review of Ian Buruma’s Taming the Gods. Jason Smith looks forward to a Birmingham Salon discussion by asking ‘What are libraries for?’, and Valentine Rossetti suggests the idea of beauty is making a comeback in contemporary art. And in London theatre, Matt Trueman enjoys Simon Russell Beale in Deathtrap, while Miriam Gillinson is less convinced by Soho Theatre’s Re-Orientations.
