Many Roads to Worship
Erik Reece, author of Utopia Drive: A Road Trip Through America’s Most Radical Idea, writes a lively review of Thomas More’s 1516 novel, Utopia, for FSG’s Work in Progress. More’s Utopians “revere religious tolerance above all else…in keeping with the sentiments of their founder, Utopos, who ‘considered it possible that God made different people believe different things, because He wanted to be worshipped in many different ways.’” Reece reports back from a modern-day egalitarian community, Twin Oaks in Virginia, and ends in an almost full-throated cry for more utopia in 2016.
