More Than ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’: U2, Faith and the Fight Against Sectarianism

(REVIEW) When it comes to U2, perhaps the only thing harder to find than a nuanced opinion of them is an accurate portrayal of their faith. It was a shock to some that the Dublin-based band — who became big in the 1980s — refused to be pigeonholed as apologists for Irish nationalism. Anyone who looks at their religious makeup shouldn’t have been surprised.

Bono, William Blake and CS Lewis

(OPINION) Bono, the frontman of the band U2, has published a new memoir “Surrender.” His music has been shaped by thinkers like William Blake, a poet who opposed the Enlightenment in favor of imaginative thinking. Bono also has parallels with Christian apologist and thinker C.S. Lewis.
