JD Vance has a new book about his religious faith, ‘Communion,’ coming out later this spring
The 304-page memoir traces his shift from Christianity to atheism and back to Catholicism, and it includes reflections on his political career.
- On Tuesday, Vice President J.D. Vance announced his 304-page memoir 'Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,' set for release on June 16, 2026, exploring his spiritual journey from Christianity to atheism and his 2019 conversion to Catholicism.
- Vance, who previously gained national prominence with his 2016 memoir 'Hillbilly Elegy,' has worked on this project intermittently since 2019. He describes the work as an intimate account of his personal return to faith.
- Critics, including reporter Joe Perticone, noted the book cover features Mount Zion United Methodist Church in Elk Creek, Virginia, rather than a Catholic site. The image is a widely used stock photograph.
- Analysts suggest the release fuels speculation regarding a 2028 presidential bid, following a pattern used by potential candidates like California Governor Gavin Newsom and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear. Vance has not confirmed his intentions.
- The memoir arrives amid theological tensions, as Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV have both publicly rebuked Vance's interpretation of Catholic doctrine regarding immigration. Critics characterize the book as an attempt to reshape his public image.
