The best-known and most solicited religion scholar working the lecture circuit, he daily receives half a dozen invitations to talk, and schedules one out-of-town appearance a week. He preaches at least once a month in various houses of worship, mainly in the area around suburban Riverside, Ill., where he lives with his second wife Harriet, a voice coach. Ever quotable, he is constantly sought by reporters looking for quick bursts of wisdom...
