Frank Beckwith is Homo Sapiens of the Year!

Inside the Vatican magazine has named Catholic convert philosopher Frank Beckwith as #1 among its 10 top folks of 2007. It's not often that a lover of wisdom gets ranked by anyone as the year's top homo sapiens.

Frank most recently had a pro-life book published by Cambridge University Press, entitled Defending Life, but there's lots more to his work and story. Go to www.insidethevatican.com and scroll down to "Francis Beckwith"; you'll love it. By the way, Frank has studied law at Washington University in St. Louis, just in case somebody thinks a mere philosopher doesn't merit MofJ mention. (Just kidding.)
