Well we're joined now by Christopher Scalia.

He's the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia,

and he recently published a book called On Faith,

Lessons from an American Believer.

Chris, thanks for being on the podcast with us.

Thanks a lot for having me.

So I want to ask you first off, what inspired you to write this book?

A couple years ago you came out with a book

called Scalia Speaks which includes a lot of his speeches on various topics some on faith

actually but but this one's exclusively about faith.

Yeah, he delivered many speeches over the course of his career, and the last collection, Scalia speaks, tries to give kind of a view of him as a man in full, so it covers all sorts of topics,

the law, of course, and faith, but a lot of other things like national identity and hobbies and past times and things like that.

I mean, he delivered speeches about faith very often, and they were so important to him that he seemed to have been planning putting out a

collection before he died. He sent a draft to an acquaintance who read over and

sent back some notes that he actually sent the notes back to my dad the day before my father passed away.
