Killing the Buddha is back
Killing the Buddha, a great web magazine that was dormant for awhile, is back.
The magazine, which was founded by two talented religion reporters, Jeff Sharlet and Peter Manseau, has been resurrected, and is already offering some thought-provoking essays about belief.
Jeff is a friend, and the author of the recently published “The Family.” He also runs a great religion blog based at NYU called The Revealer.
KTB was notable in its heyday for being a place where writers could question belief - theirs and others’. Wrestling with one’s faith is a time-honored tradition and KTB is, as it says on its newly revamped site, “a place for brazen stories of belief — lost and found and lost again.”
