About This Item
By Krista Tippet, 1st edition. Signed by author. Condition very good. As the baby boomers headed of from their elementary schools to religious-instruction classes, magazine covers asked: IS GOD DEAD? Yet today, most people describe themselves as religious, and many focus deeply on a wide array of spiritual practices and traditions. The debates continuing, however, as influential voices warn of an emerging theocracy. In this book, the author addresses these voices and concerns, these huge cultural shifts and reversals, drawing from her own experience ad her conversations across the world's traditions with theologians, scientists, ethicists, and activists.
Synopsis
An intimate, thought-provoking, and original appraisal of the meaning of religion in our time- from the creator and host of public radio's Speaking of Faith Krista Tippett, widely becoming known as the Bill Moyers of radio, is one of the country's most intelligent and insightful commentators on religion, ethics, and the human spirit. With this book, she draws on her own life story and her intimate conversations with both ordinary and famous figures, including Elie Wiesel, Karen Armstrong, and Thich Nhat Hanh, to explore complex subjects like science, love, virtue, and violence within the context of spirituality and everyday life. Her way of speaking about the mysteries of life-and of listening with care to those who endeavor to understand those mysteries-is nothing short of revolutionary.
