Wouldn't a comma before 'as summarized' change the meaning of the sentence?
The way it is written, 'this project as summarized in the current issue of Free Inquiry' becomes a single unit, does it not?
If there is a comma, then the phrase becomes adverbial and modifies 'revived this project'. That way the Free Inquiry piece summarizes MP's reviving.
Is this analysis correct?
Gratefully,
Navi.

The interpretation "Michael Paulkovich revived [ this project as summarized in the current issue of Free Inquiry ]" does not seem very feasible to me. I believe that the sentence is not ideally punctuated and ought to have a comma, but without a comma I interpret it the same, i.e. that the revival of the project is summarised in the publication.
