The Revealer

The Revealer publishes ten issues per year and features articles that explore religion and its many roles in society, politics, the media, and in people's lives.

NYU Journalism professor Jay Rosen developed the idea for The Revealer as a project for NYU's Center for Religion and Media, one of ten Centers of Excellence initially funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and that Angela Zito and Faye Ginsburg founded in 2003.

[1][2] Sharlet served as editor of the publication for five years before becoming a bestselling author with his book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power.

With articles written for a broad audience, The Revealer features original articles by scholars, journalists, and freelance writers that explore how religion shapes, and is shaped by, race, sexuality, gender, politics, history, and culture.

The online magazine publishes articles in many forms, including feature essays with original research and on-the-ground reporting, first person narratives, opinion pieces, interviews, photo-essays, and reviews of books, film, and television.
