Synopsis

Insightful and thought-provoking conversations exploring religion—and atheism—from diverse spiritual, cultural and political perspectives, as heard on the Peabody Award-winning radio show Fresh Air with Terry Gross.

One of the most popular programs on public radio, Fresh Air is carried by over 500 stations and in Europe on the World Radio Network. Each week, nearly five million listeners tune in to hear probing and reflective interviews about arts, culture and politics.

This new collection features interviews with an array of guests with diverse perspectives, from evangelical to atheistic, and the many places in between: Religious scholars Bart D. Ehrman and Karen Armstrong, scientist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion), novelist Tim LaHaye, geneticist and evangelical Christian Francis Collins, Saturday Night Live's Julia Sweeney (Letting Go of God), and many more. As in previous Fresh Air collections, Terry Gross brings out the best in her guests with a variety of compelling interviews.

The interviews are interesting and enlightening, though I can't say that I found myself persuaded at all. And neither......more

Goodreads review by Joanne

Interesting. A wide variety of views. Terry Gross is wonderful. No matter how bizarre the individual, her tone of voice is always even. I'd want to scream, "How can you possibly really believe that!" but she just asks, "What was it that lead you that belief?" Cool lady!!......more
