Happy New Year! If you were otherwise occupied last week and didn't have a chance to see the newsletter, here is editor John Wilson's list of his favorite books from 2004. (Next week in the Corner: more noteworthy books from 2004, and The Worst Book of the Year, plus a look some coming attractions.) Our weblog is on vacation but will return next week, along with the Book of the Week.
In articles from the January/February issue, Ron Sider considers "The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience" while Michael Cromartie interviews Christian Smith about what American teens actually believe.
Thanks for reading.

BOOKS & CULTURE CORNER
The Top Ten Books of 2004
And a warning about the risks of reading.
By John Wilson
It was just this summer, you may recall, that the National Endowment for the Arts issued its solemn report "Reading at Risk," fuel for a thousand op-eds. (Surely with poet Dana Gioia in charge, the NEA might have been expected to come up with a title less nanny-stateish, less patently bureaucratic.) Reading at risk? Well, we wouldn't know about that, would we now? A more apt title for our kind would be "The Risk of Reading," or maybe "Risks Associated with Excessive Reading: An Assessment."
