Review: J.D. Vance's "Communion" Memoir Lacks Conviction and Zeal
By
Jessica Winter
Summary
Jessica Winter reviews J.D. Vance's second memoir "Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith," which recounts his journey from Baptist/Pentecostal childhood through atheism to Catholic baptism. Winter argues the book is strangely impassive and indifferent about the faith Vance has joined, lacking the expected zeal of a convert. The review critiques Vance's distasteful and contemptuous tone toward Catholicism, suggesting the memoir is more about political positioning than genuine spiritual transformation.
