...little tougher to track, but they're immensely rewarding." Religion is by no means Van Biema's only interest. Since he came to TIME three years ago from our sister publication Life, he has written about everything from natural disasters to Forrest Gump.

Professor Stanley Cavell's Moral Reasoning core, Moral Perfectionism, inspired him to study philosophy. This was already a nascent interest: During his first year at Harvard, Ben-Shachar founded the campus Objectivist Club, but by his sophomore year he no longer ran it. Now he doesn't considers himself an Objectivist, noting the irony that Ayn Rand's highly individualist philosophy spawns "blind commitment" from her ideological "followers...
