  • "A journalist and former diplomat, Krista Tippett is the host of Speaking of Faith, public radio's weekly conversation about religion, ethics, and ideas. Tippett came up with the idea for Speaking of Faith and has hosted the show since it began in 2000 as an occasional feature. She has written and reported for the New York Times, Newsweek, and the BBC. In her new book, Tippett draws on her life experiences, studies, and conversations with people such as Karen Armstrong, Freeman Dyson, John Polkinghorne, and Elie Wiesel to explore complex topics within the context of spirituality."

  • "As a journalist and then a diplomat, author Tippett was enthralled by the promise of political solutions to divisive issues. When politics failed tp provide worthy answers, she attended Yale Divinity School to pursue larger questions about what makes a meaningful life. In her quest for faith's illumination of life's complexities, passions, and frailties, she developed a style of discourse--a "life of conversation"--That she now shares with millions of people every week via her public radio program. Tippett's in-depth conversations with theologians, scientists, ethicists, and seekers who share their experiences, combined with her engaging style, are revolutionizing the way many think and speak of faith in their families and communities and in the larger world.--From publisher description."@en
