A thought-provoking, original account of the religious impulses and moral dilemmas of our age.

With scientists and theologians, social activists and poets, Krista Tippett has explored how spiritual questions and religious insights inform every aspect of human life. Now she offers this approach to readers, inviting people from all walks of life to join her ongoing dialogue with wise voices from the past as well as the contemporary voices on her radio show. At once a spiritual memoir and a memoir of ideas, this book illustrates a new way to think and speak about personal and public religious dynamics - from the evolution of Evangelical Christianity, to spiritual ferment within global Islam, to science and religion as "mutually illuminating" forms of knowledge. She offers a way to speak across faiths - and across the secular-religious divide - in order to live more thoughtfully, hopefully, and generously with the tensions of our age.

"Her intelligence is like a salve for all thinking people who have felt wounded or marginalized by The God Wars."
- Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love
