About this item
As the baby boomers headed off 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 continue, however, as influential voices warn of an emerging theocracy in our country and some call for "the end of faith." In Speaking of Faith, Krista Tippett addresses these many voices and concerns, these huge cultural shifts and reversals, drawing from her own experience and her conversations across the world’s traditions with theologians, scientists, ethicists, and activists as creator and host of public radio’s enormously popular show of the same name.
