Can rock music enrich one's spiritual life? David Nantais, a freelance writer and religion book reviewer for Publishers Weekly, tackles this question. Nantais's writings on such topics as bioethics and the intersection of spirituality and popular culture can be found in print publications like America and online at Busted Halo. He earned an MS In biochemistry from Iowa State University, followed by an MA in philosophy from Loyola University and a Master's in Theological Studies from Weston Jesuit School of Theology. He has played the drums in rock bands in Detroit, Chicago, Ames, and Boston. Msgr. James A. Supple Lecture.
